Which of these two choices (-minded or -driven) to choose depends on the manner of thinking of the doer, as in this case, about money.
Minded: having a mind especially of a specified kind or concerned with a specified thing —usually used in combination, such as narrow-minded or health-minded
Driven: propelled or motivated by something —used in combination, such as results-driven or a character-driven drama
Put simply for this example, use of -minded means the doer is inclined toward concerns of money and use of -driven means the doer is obsessed with money.
