The investment banker getting paid 200k per year in NYC is still closer to being homeless, than being a millionaire.

They are a millionaire though. It's just that that means nothing anymore.

A million bucks is a million away from zero, but it's 999 million away from a billion.

It's like the old saying goes "a millionaire is still about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire" .

Hey, I too am about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire. I suppose that means I'm a millionaire! Woo hoo

Millionaires, thousandaires, and hundredaires are all about a billion dollars away from being billionaires.
