ORIGIN & LORE
In the 2013 Martin Scorsese film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, this iconic scene features Leonardo DiCaprio as the real-life stockbroker Jordan Belfort confrontationaly "tipping" FBI agents Patrick Denham and his partner. While the agents are aboard his luxury yacht investigating his firm’s fraudulent activities, Belfort attempts a thinly veiled bribe by tossing stacks of hundred-dollar bills at them, mockingly telling them to "have a drink on me" as he treats the cash like worthless confetti. This sequence perfectly encapsulates Belfort’s descent into drug-fueled hubris and his belief that his immense wealth makes him untouchable by the law. The scene transitioned into a viral meme shortly after the film's digital release, peaking in popularity during the mid-2010s on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit due to DiCaprio’s exaggerated facial expressions and the sheer absurdity of the gesture. It is typically used to represent reckless spending, the feeling of receiving a paycheck or tax return, or the "pay-to-win" mentality in video games where players throw money at a problem to succeed. Notable variations often include photoshopping different items into Belfort’s hands, such as "Dogecoin," "V-Bucks," or "stimulus checks," turning a moment of villainous arrogance into a universal symbol for financial flexes—both serious and sarcastic.
