Divitiam 

A person who offers insane or overpay amounts on items not for sale so the person is forced to give in/sell

Origin:
The word Divitam comes from the Latin word "divitiae" which means "Riches, Wealth"
Example 1:
An elderly woman has a home she has lived in for 50 years and does not want to move out of, she ignores all offers from real estate agents trying to make apartment blocks until they offer her an insane overpay amount (e.g. 3m as opposed to 1m) so she decides to give in and sell it to them

Example 2:

Aaron has a car he drives, it's a pretty uncommon car, but he likes it. It is not for sale as he has become attached to the car and doesn't really need to upgrade it as it works fine. This car is worth $10000 and he gets offered $8000, he declines, he then gets offered $10000 and still declines, so the Divitiam person decides he really wants the item especially since the person won't give it away easily and decides to offer $15000, so Aaron gives in and takes it

Example in a sentence:
"Dude I sold my car today, I didn't really want to but he was such a Divitiam."
