Entirely different. Oligarchs are individuals who personally own and control obscene amounts of a country's infrastructure, through backdoor deals.

American Business Titans are individuals who personally own and control obscene amounts of a country's infrastructure, through outsized stock ownership. And they wear fitted t-shirts instead of creepy euro-suits.

Who calls powerful men in commie countries oligarchs? They are Politburo members. Russia is a non-commie country for 30 years.
