Meanings
nounmillionaire (plural millionaires)
plural millionaires · alternative archaic millionnaire
- Somebody whose wealth is at least one million (10⁶) currency units (usually understood to exclude holders of hyperinflated currencies).
Those people who eventually become millionaires typically don't get there through sheer luck or by making one life-changing investment. […] While starting early can increase your likelihood of attaining millionaire status, the investments you choose play an equally important role.
2017 May 16, Maurie Backman, “Here's how to become a millionaire on $56,000 a year”, in CNN Money, archived from the original on 21 Apr 2025Synonyms: millionist
