The author completely misunderstands what Fuck You Money is. It represents the amount of money you need to leave the rat race and do whatever you want -- the ability to say Fuck You to your boss, your investors, whoever it is that is controlling your life using your need for money.

Bezos, Zuck etc. don't have that amount, in spite of their hundreds of billions, or else they wouldn't be doing what they are doing. "Yes, but they have to do this to maintain their businesses that are subject to Trump's whims." No they don't. They could put someone else in charge, take a few dozen billion, and still live fabulous lives, independent of Trump. Let someone else do the ass-kissing. But they choose not to do that.
