Once his term of office is over will it matter to Mr Trump what people think of him or will the cash in his pocket mean more?
I don’t think Trump conceives of a time when his term in office is over. He tried to overthrow the Biden presidency when it commenced and I reckon he will declare some kind of National Emergency to permit him to continue in office for as long as his flunkies permit.
Or, he'll be out of office and then spend the rest of his life in court defending himself against assorted charges of corruption (his investments seem to be doing very well with people having an uncanny ability to pre-empt market changes to Presidential actions that hadn't happened), criminal actions relating to Epstein files when the unredacted versions are finally released, hopefully some crimes against humanity (assuming the rulings that grant immunity to the President are overturned) for the illegal detention in inhumane conditions of thousands and the execution of peaceful protestors ... the list of potential legal cases seems almost endless.
Though his apparent cognitive decline may mean by then he'll be blissfully unaware of the world around him.

Yes and no. Ego is a major driver for Trump, and it matters to him that he’s seen as The Best Ever. That’s at least part of what’s behind the ballroom and the triumphal arch—monuments to him.
That said, his ego is such that he’s utterly convinced he’s The Best Ever, regardless of what others think.
