Not just multimillionaire, hectomillionaire 8 times over! There’s a world of difference between, for example, $5m and $800m!

Edit: corrected prefix from one meaning the opposite

Just because I spent entirely too long trying to figure out which one you were saying only had $80k: I think you meant hectomillionaire.

Well, dammit! It’s bad enough that I used the wrong prefix, but to actually use the wrong prefix that FORBES use? That’s just humiliating! 😬😂

Thanks for letting me know, though 🙂

This is why people just call them “mega” millionaires, because there’s a big difference between $2 million and $80 million too.

Except there’s still the obvious problem: using the same word for things that are different by a factor of 10 or more. Plus there’s no consensus on the lower boundary of “mega” either.

Much better to be at least a LITTLE precise when you’re talking about the unethical nature of perverse abundance…
