super-rich
Extreme wealth holders
Super-rich describes people of extraordinary wealth—not merely wealthy but among the most affluent in society.
The term typically refers to billionaires or those with assets far exceeding what "rich" alone would suggest: The super-rich have different tax concerns than ordinary millionaires.
As a noun, the super-rich refers to this class collectively.
