From French millionnaire. By surface analysis, million + -aire.
noun millionaires · millionnaire
-
Somebody whose wealth is at least one million (10⁶) currency units (usually understood to exclude holders of hyperinflated currencies).
Those people who eventually become millionaires typically don't get there through sheer luck or by making one life-changing investment. […] While starting early can increase your likelihood of attaining millionaire status, the investments you choose play an equally important role.
