make it rain
Shower the crowd
Make it rain means to throw or scatter paper money into the air, originally in strip clubs where patrons shower cash on performers.
The gesture signals extravagant wealth and generosity: He made it rain at the club last night.
More broadly, it means to spend lavishly or flaunt financial success: After the bonus hit, I'm gonna make it rain.
