Heck, No. He does nothing for money. He's a guy who makes deals and always holds his part even though you may not want it. As for riches, he has a  estate and he's rich due to the deal he cut with the queen before the dark curse to live comfortabtly

But the motivation for his evil in his own series is to find his son who he lost in a moment of weakness regarding his power as the Dark One and that's why he used the dark curse to bring the Fairy Tale World to the real world and why he's been mapulating heroes and villains alike in this very long term plan like say 200 years. His Price is to help him find and protect his son.

This part is long

Why you may ask?, Well a very long time ago, he was branded for leaving the ugly ogre wars so he wouldn't leave his son fatherlesss. He crippled himself with a sledge hammer and walked all the home to do just that. His wife was disgusted by his cowardless despite his understandable reason and cheated on him with another man, and they lied about her death meaning he has to care of his son alone.

When he learned his son could be drafted in a war, he didn't want to lose his son, worth noting that he joined the wars to prove he wasn't a coward like his father (The Real Deal considering his father abadoned him for enternal youth because he hated adult responsiblites and always hated him from day one and to his face no less), He tries to control the Dark One for good only to kill it and become the Dark One himself. As a result he takes revenge on those fucked with him including the man who stole his wife. His son becomes scared of him and tries to return to normal by going to a world without magic, though Rumpel (Gold) can't give up his power and loses his son,  which he instantly regrets and spends his whole life trying to find.

He also learns about his wife faking her death and he is angered that she abadoned their son and stated she never loved him. In an act of passion he rips her heart and crushes it (Bad though to me she had it coming) and then cuts the man's hand when he refuses to honor the deal they made. Then this man puts a hook on his hand, going by the Name Captain Hook.
