Etymology[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
billionaire (plural billionaires)
- Somebody whose wealth is greater than one billion (109) dollars, or other currency.
- Synonym: (rare) milliardaire
2013 June 22, “Engineers of a different kind”, in The Economist, volume 407, number 8841, page 70:
Private-equity nabobs bristle at being dubbed mere financiers. […] Much of their pleading is public-relations bluster. Clever financial ploys are what have made billionaires of the industry’s veterans. “Operational improvement” in a portfolio company has often meant little more than promising colossal bonuses to sitting chief executives if they meet ambitious growth targets. That model is still prevalent today.
