Good morning. I'm guessing you need a second cup of coffee, Fearguth. A centimillionaire would be someone who's worth 1/100th of a million dollars, or $10,000. Hectomillionaires would be worth over $100,000,000.
Our mother tongue makes no sense, yet I love her still. 'Tis usage makes the language. I stand corrected, morning coffee in hand, in my inflammable robe and slippers.
Timess were so tough even hectomillionaires had to pump their own gas.
