The lion's share is an idiom meaning the largest portion.

Ask the meaning of a sentence .
Technically, the "lion's share" is the whole thing. It comes from one of Aesop's Fables, in which the lion says that for one reason he should have a certain portion, for another reason, he should have a certain other portion, and so on, until all the portions have been taken by the lion, and there is nothing left for anyone else.
