ultra wealthy
Beyond mere affluence
Ultra wealthy describes people or families possessing extreme wealth—typically hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
The term distinguishes the very richest from the merely affluent or conventionally wealthy: The ultra wealthy have different tax strategies than high earners.
Often used in discussions of inequality, luxury markets, or estate planning.
Also spelled as one word or hyphenated: ultrawealthy, ultra-wealthy.
