Explain the joke

The meme humorously contrasts standard global currencies (euro, dollar) against a founder's personal "currency": one dollar earned through their startup.The visual comparison shows that despite both being labeled "$1", the self-made dollar is vastly more valuable than official international money, playing on how founders view their own work as infinitely more important.
