money-makers
Revenue generating assets
Money-makers are people, businesses, or products that generate profit or income.
The term applies broadly: a blockbuster film is a money-maker for a studio, a talented salesperson is a money-maker for their company, and a side hustle can be a money-maker for someone seeking extra income.
That franchise has been a real money-maker for us.
The word carries a pragmatic, results-oriented tone—what matters is the bottom line.
