She's never been one to worship money — what she values is feelings.
Tips
usage
Mostly used as a modifier or in compounds: 拜金主义 (bàijīn zhǔyì, 'money-worshipping-ism / mammonism'), 拜金女 (bàijīn nǚ, 'gold-digger / money-obsessed woman'). Always carries criticism — never neutral.
memory
拜 (to worship, the same character used for praying to deities or ancestors) + 金 (gold / money). Worshipping money the way one worships gods. Compare 拜佛 (bàifó, worship Buddha), 拜年 (bàinián, pay New Year visits).
