Wario just wants to build a better life for himself and his followers, outside of the tyranny of Peach’s autocratic dictatorship that is the Mushroom Kingdom. However, Fuehrer Peach’s main enforcer Mario, always seems to put a stop to this. Wario’s constant pursuit of gold is merely a means to secure his and his followers safety through the purchase of his own castle and land. I also think that it is safe to assume that Peach has a vast army of vampires, which would explain why Wario is always eating garlic… clearly an attempt at keeping himself safe. What does Wario do in his spare time? He plays games with his friends. What does Mario do in his spare time? Terrorizes the denizens of not only the Mushroom Kingdom, but others as well. Wario is clearly the better man.
