Since Columbus lobbied hard and for many years to gain support of a transatlantic expedition, it is probable that he considered himself the most important, and perhaps he was right because there would have been no expedition at that time without him. Also, Coulmbus had a list of demands for Spain which were not met, including the rank of "Admiral of the Ocean Sea," a title which he wanted to be hereditary and passed down to his son and grandsons.

Columbus wanted to explore and Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand wanted to support him because they wanted the riches of Asia but after kicking out the Moors, the land route was closed to them.
Amerigo Vespucci planned to go to the same places that Columbus had gone. He wanted to see for himself what Columbus had experienced, but he missed the West Indies altogether. One his first voyage he was not the captain of the ship.
He wasn't interested in making the Crown rich, but himself. There was also a measure of glory and fame that came with finding the gold and riches. The explorers made contracts with the Kings and Queens for their share of what they found. Columbus, for instance, wanted 10% of any riches produced in the lands he might discover, he wanted to govern those lands, and he wanted the title of Admiral of the Ocean Sea which would be passed to his descendants.
