A moneymaker is a product or a business that brings in a lot of money — a snack, a film, a shop, a game that really pays. People say it with a little grin: this one works. You will hear it from shops, managers, and newspapers; it is informal but not slang. Though actually, people stretch it: a 'big moneymaker' might only be doing well next to the rest of the line, not making a fortune. Some speakers also call a person a moneymaker when that person earns a lot, but the core school meaning is the thing, not a job title, and not a machine that prints notes. It does not mean 'a person who makes money by making coins.'
搖錢樹;很賺錢的產品或生意
