what does it mean "He has his own money"?
Phil: Before we all dig in here, I just want to, first of all, thank all of you for coming.
And a little toast to our lovely Megan, our not so very little Megan,
but I remember when you were little.

Megan: Oh yeah?
(scattered laughter)

But, uh.. we particularly like the choice you've made here in Gus.
The good thing about it... Gus loves to golf,
so I've got someone I can take to the invitational with me every year.
And the really nice thing about it is
he has his own money. So thank you, Silicon Valley.

What does it mean he has "his own money" in this context?
That means Gus is very rich because he's very successful businessman in Silicon Valley?

Thanks in advance for your help :)
