Did you need it spelled out for you? It was made abundantly clear that Walt missed out on easy fortunes, yet he refused to take money from his former partners for treatment. Nothing's changed, other than the fact that Jesse now knows.
Knowing that he could be rich, and knowing that he could be worth $900M are completely different. Plus, I was under the impression that he was pushed out of the company and saw nothing, not that he CHOSE to leave the company for only $5000 for a buyout. Not the same thing.
But this definitely gives a sense of reckless abandon now for Walt and that he won't stop until he can be satisfied with his own empire, like the one he should already be involved in.
