At the other side of the table as a recruiter. Most people that aren't interested, state that they are working on critical projects / something incredibly interesting. Very few are the ones that state money is the main motivation. For highly skilled workers negotiating higher pay at their current company shouldn't be much of a problem if approached correctly.
One of the reasons employers want people motivated by the work is precisely because they will be harder to be lured away by pure compensation.
Side Advice: When interviewing, don't say the reason you want to work with a company is just because it's a prestiges company or higher pay. You are interviewing with your peers, not the HR department. Last thing teams want is to hire a person that isn't interested in their projects in the slightest.
