Homophones are a pair of words pronounced the same way but having different meanings or spellings, or both.

Figure, in the sense of 'amount of money' and figure in the sense of a 'nonliteral part of speech', are homophones.

Some other meanings - homophones - for figure are:

model (he made the figure of a cross from twigs)

sum, total (the final figure came to twenty dollars)

impression (of a person: he was a figure of fun)

set of movements (figure-skating)
