It’s true that all money is made up, but not in the same sense OP means.

Like I could give you 20 dollars and it’s made up in a sense, it’s just a piece of paper, but also you can go to the store and buy things with it.

Whereas if you’re an investor in a company and the CEO does some self dealing which nominally values your shares at 20 million, you can’t go spend that. It’s even more made up

Or, an (over)simplified way to put it:

"All money is made up, but some are more made up than others."
