It is interesting that we lack good words for key bands of wealth. Top 1% is apparently 4 million. So millionaire works. Threshold for top 0.01% is apparently $111 million. I’m guessing 0.1% is like 10-20 million. We need words like decamillionaire and centimillionaire.

I would probably think 3-5, since most of 3-9 will fall in lower range and I interpret multiple as closer to 'a few' than 'a couple' even if not strictly correct. I think in centi prefixes and implicitly in deca. I also think differently of 1-2 billionaires and decabillionaires.
