Morphology
megabucks = bucks (semi-transparent) = mega + buck + s
The meaning is fairly clear from mega- plus bucks, but the slang sense 'money/dollars' is only partly predictable for learners.
Etymology
The word megabucks combines mega- ('large' or 'very big') and buck ('dollar'), so it means a very large amount of money.
