I made 50 million bucks yesterday. That’s a flameout I could get used to.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is saying that the businessman made a lot of money very quickly, which he could get used to, even though it may not last. He's talking about making $50 million in a single day, which is an incredibly large amount of money. The word "flameout" means something that burns brightly but then quickly fades away, so he's suggesting that this large amount of money might not last forever. The overall message is that he's enjoying his sudden wealth, even if it's not a permanent situation.
