multibillionaire
Extremely rich individual
A multibillionaire is a person whose net worth amounts to several billion dollars or more.
The prefix multi- distinguishes someone with multiple billions from those who have merely crossed the billion-dollar threshold.
Tech founders and oil magnates dominate the list of multibillionaires.
The term appears frequently in discussions of extreme wealth inequality and the concentration of economic power.
