Eager to acquire, greedy.
For example, with each year, the couple became more madly acquisitive, buying jewelry, a huge yacht, and two country estates.
Many have observed that we live in an acquisitive society, a society devoted to getting and spending, unlike most tribal societies and some older nations.
