Is such a structure possible? Eg. ''It makes wealth become people's lives purposes". Are there any other errors? My student wrote such a sentence and I'm a little confused about its correctness...

The underlined part is not correct.

It makes wealth become people's purpose in life.
It makes the pursuit of wealth become people's purpose in life

'People's life purpose' can be an alternative.
