millionairess

Female financial elite

A millionairess is a woman whose wealth amounts to at least a million units of currency—typically dollars or pounds.

The word is old-fashioned; *millionaire* now serves for anyone regardless of sex: She's a millionaire several times over.

The feminine form survives mainly in period contexts or for stylistic effect.
