Usage
editCommon usage--abetted by Merriam-Webster--notwithstanding, "centi-" is the System International (essentially the US Metric System) prefix for "divided by 100", and has been for at least 6 decades, and hence is incorrectly used here; "centibillionare" actually means "has 1/100 of $1B". The correct term is "hectobillionaire".
