What the money-mouth face 🤑 emoji means
🤑 is the money-mouth face: dollar signs for eyes and a banknote for a tongue. It means money on the mind — payday, a bonus, a big win, a good deal, or someone being greedy. It is playful about wealth rather than serious: “got paid 🤑” is celebration, “he only wants your money 🤑” is a jab. Added in Emoji 1.0 (2015), it is the face of the money emoji family, with 💰 money bag, 💸 money with wings and 💵 dollar banknote as its objects.

The rich emoji meme
On social media, 🤑 often appears in reaction memes about sudden wealth. It has dollar-sign eyes and a dollar-bill tongue, and it is used to caption posts about lottery wins, bonuses, or comically large purchases. In meme formats, it might be paired with other flexing emojis like 💸 and 💰 to exaggerate wealth.
The joke has a light, self-aware tone. People use it to joke about being temporarily rich after payday, or to mock influencers who flaunt money. A text like “me checking my bank account after overtime 🤑” reads as playful bragging, not genuine greed.
