Anyone here ever got a real cash(money) tip while working in finance? (Not a paycheck)

I am not talking about bonuses that you get in a paycheck. I am not asking about non-finance jobs.(Like if you were a waiter and got a cash tip)

I am asking if anyone here, while working in a business attire suit in the office got a cash tip from someone because they were really impressed with your work. Did your boss ever slip you a 100-dollar bill? (Outside your normal paycheck)

"Stoo" myself and two other guys each got 10k cash. We were specifically told to spend it and not put it in the bank

Were you at a fund - did it blow up 2 years later?
