The phrase is Italian slang, with sordi used in place of soldi for money, and it circulates online as a short, shareable voice meme rather than a line tied to a widely documented film or song. Its appeal comes from its simplicity: a named person and a blunt claim about wealth are easy to reuse across jokes about spending, salaries, and sudden good fortune. Because the clip is only about two seconds long, it fits the fast rhythm of short-form video and group-chat humour, where a single line can carry the whole punchline without setup.
