Morphology

oofy = oof (opaque) = oof + y

The slang sense 'wealthy' is not derivable from the interjection 'oof', so the relationship is opaque to learners.

Etymology

Oofy is slang for being 'rich' or having a lot of money. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the small oof sound people make when they see something very expensive, so oofy describes someone who makes others say 'oof' at their wealth.
