Never seen the hecto- prefix used in the wild before. Definitely going to start using that too, I've always hated the nonspecificity in multi-millionaire.

    Yeah, me too! A net worth of $3 million technically makes you a multi-millionaire, but I'm pretty sure that's upper middle class money by now.

    Conversely, $100+ millions is much more than any reasonable person can possibly spend in a lifetime. It's only a tenth of a billion, but it's effectively the same category of wealth: dragon's hoard that is harmful to both society and the person with it.
