"Screw the Rules, I Have Money!" is a legendary catchphrase popularized by the fan-made parody "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series," created by LittleKuriboh. Attributed to the arrogant billionaire duelist Seto Kaiba, the phrase perfectly encapsulates his character's tendency to use his vast wealth to ignore the laws of the game and physics. Since its debut in the mid-2000s, the meme has transcended its anime roots to become a universal shorthand for any situation where social standing, power, or literal cash is used to circumvent established rules. It is frequently used in political commentary, gaming communities, and relatable everyday scenarios where money seemingly buys a way out of any restriction.
