Is there a word that would incorporate an interest in gains in, money, power, and status?

"Personal gain" doesn't do it, because the political success of one's ideological beliefs is also a personal gain, even if it doesn't pay off in any of the above ways.

Pecuniary is limited to just money.

Material gain also doesn't properly capture power and status.

Do we have such a word?

Is there a word I can borrow from another language?

Do we need to coin a new term?
