In old movies, you definitely see "millionaires" as the definition of "rich". $1m in 1950 is about $10m today, so that seems like a pretty safe bet for "Hollywood rich".

1950 1m as the gateway for millionaire ~= 10m today so having 6m is close, but not quite there yet.

Considering there are 1,810+ billionaires globally you have not heard of most of these people. But, if someone is defined as unusually rich not just 'comfortable' that seems to be the new movie millionaire.
