Fuck-you Money

What is Fuck-you Money?

1.

An amount of wealth that enables an individual to reject traditional social behavior and niceties of conduct without fear of consequences.

The more senior among them, it is assumed, detest RupertMurdoch, just as their parents must have bridled at the former Journal editor Norman Pearlstine's marriage to Nancy Friday, a flamboyant author of sex studies. "But they don't have 'fuck-you money' anymore," a former reporter said of the Bancrofts. "They're nice and rich, but not ungodly so. It matters to the younger generation."
