One billion [en inglés] es 1 000 000 000, una cifra que en español es un millardo, o más comúnmente, mil millones, mientras que un billón español es 1 000 000 000 000, es decir, un millón de millones. Dado que en la lista de Forbes [se] ingresa quien [tiene] una fortuna igual o superior a mil millones de dólares y no igual o superior a un billón de dólares, lo más adecuado y preciso es llamarlo milmillonario, que se escribe en una sola palabra. 2, record 1, Spanish, - mil%20mill%C3%B3n
