If Albert 'loves' respect and respect is all about money, then Albert loves money.

To say Albert left for love of money is completely fair - you just have to accept that money means something different to Albert than it does to you or I.

And what it means to Albert is actually significantly less savory to me than what it would mean for anyone else.

I understand, but I guess we can say he didn't leave because of greed. He wasn't day dreaming about how he was going to spend that extra 30 million of whatever. The contract was a symbol of respect and achievement. He isn't a guy that's probably charging kids $20 a pop for his autograph to suck up every last dollar. In fact it sounds like he quite a charitable guy.
