I'll bait, even though this is quite obvious a low-effort comment without any basis. If you would have read the article, you could have noted the following:

> Max Schrems: "The penalty will go to Ireland - the State that has taken Meta's side and delayed enforcement for more than four years. This case will likely be appealed by Meta, leading to more costs for noyb."

So: No, the money does not go to the ominous "EU leadership", but rather to Ireland, the country which already profits from being a tax and law heaven for Meta and other companies. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland_as_a_tax_haven
