millionnaire

millionaire

noun adjective mee-lyoh-NAIR Rare

Usage Note

Millionnaire (double 'n') can be a noun (un millionnaire / une millionnaire) or an adjective (il est millionnaire). The form is the same for masculine and feminine when used as a noun; as an adjective it is invariable in its base form. Milliardaire ('billionaire') should not be confused with millionnaire — the distinction between the two is often blurred in English but is strictly maintained in French.

Examples

"Il est devenu millionnaire à trente ans."

Natural Translation

He became a millionaire at thirty.
