> A group of centi-millionaires

centi- means 1/100. So those are people whose net work is about 10k.

The author probably meant hecto-millionaires. Or deci-billionaires.

Heh, premium words. What good is a dictionary that only lists the common words? We know what those ones mean...

After piercing the paywall, I can see they've wrong. Centa, centi. Not the same.

And they charge for that?
