big-timer
Someone truly important
A big-timer is someone who has achieved significant success or prominence, typically in business, entertainment, or politics.
The term carries a slightly informal or admiring tone, suggesting someone who operates at the highest levels rather than in minor leagues.

It can also be used ironically for someone who acts more important than they are.
