A term used to describe the phenomena of an individual having so much money that they no longer experience any financial insecurity and can boldly say fuck you to almost anyone, unfazed by the consequences of having done so.

An very large amount of money, which would enable an individual to do pretty much whatever the fuck he or she wants. Fuck you money is not a fixed amount, but is just much more then anyone could realistically put to good use.
