"Millionair" is the name of a private jet charter company operating out of Los Angeles while the "Millionair Club" is a work training program for the homeless in Seattle. You're right. It's an indefinite hyperbolic numeral that, through inexperience and creep, has become a mundane and ordinary number for people who are well-off enough to see it. It's an obscene amount of money for the people who never will. If you count our assets the right way, we qualify for financial aid from my daughter's school. If you count our assets the wrong way, we're millionaires (and I reckon there are at least half a dozen posters on here that could say the same). Who do you think has better accountants, white people or minorities?
