billionairess

Ultra-wealthy woman

A billionairess is a woman whose personal wealth exceeds one billion dollars or equivalent currency.

The term follows the pattern of adding -ess to indicate female gender, as in actress or heiress, though such forms are increasingly seen as dated.

The billionairess funded several charitable foundations.

The gender-neutral billionaire now applies to anyone.
