{{dictionary}}Centimillionaire (or centomillionaire) is an individual with net assets of US$100 million or more.[1][2] A synonymous term is hectomillionaire.[3] In terms of the number of digits in the unit, it is in between decamillionaire and billionaire.[4] The term hecto derives from French and in English multiplies the unit it is attached to by a hundred. The term centi derives from Latin and term centimillionaire has become synonymous with hectomillionaire in America, despite the centi- prefix meaning the one hundredth of a whole, not 100, in the metric system.[5] Offshoots of the term include pent-hectomillionaire, referring to those who are halfway to becoming billionaires.[6] The rising prevalence of people possessing ever increasing quantities of wealth has given rise to additional terms to further differentiate millionaires. A hectomillionaire has a net worth of more than 100 million units of currency. In discussions on wealth inequality in the United States, hectomillionaires are said to be in the richest 0.01%, prompting calls for a redistribution of wealth.[7] In terms of their influence, hectomillionaires can be on par with billioniares in their ability to shape government policies.[8] Although there are some developing and smaller countries, or provinces of larger and developed countries that do not have any billionaires, these places often have at least one centimillionaire.[9]References1. ^Forbes - Volume 183 - Page 68, Bertie Charles Forbes - 2009
