Once you agree to accept money for your work: "we've established what you are, we're just haggling about the price."
No author sets out to avoid making money, other than writers of religious or political tracts.
Readers want to be entertained or challenged or informed or reassured or any combination of those. If you do any of those well, you can make money. If, in addition, you are in the right place at the right time and lucky, you can make a lot of money.
