    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” .

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