Does "fuck you money", even exist?

I have personal fuck you money. I rarely do stuff I don't want to do. Public figures are morons chasing the spotlight.

Old money says and does far worse than some podcaster but nobody can touch them because they aren't obsessed with fame

The long answer is that fame, the necessary popularity that brings them such fame, and the potential of more money by being more popular and thus increasing their fame, is what forces themselves to be whores without any self worth.

The short answer is they're not people.

There are retired FDNY Captains in their 50s with "fuck you" money in the sense the ranch house they bought on long island in 1993 when they weren't making that much quadrupled in value and they get a fat pension every month. They don't have to worry about working or making money ever again. They key to that actually being "fuck you money" is the lifestyle. All of their peers are also firemen, so the lifestyle creep doesn't happen as much.

Celebrities making 20x that much and such are constantly rubbing elbows with people from higher tiers, so they start "needing" and paying for things/services they didn't even know existed 3 years prior
