Money a channel makes when one of their shows gets extremely popular and often used to finance other shows. Coined by Stephen Colbert and John Oliver who both work for HBO. The term "dragon money" refers to the money that HBO made from their popular show "Game Of Thrones".
The phrase is often said when you use money earned by another show to finance your own.
We can spend money on ridiculous things like wax presidents on our shows because we have dragon money.
