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.

Billionaires and centimillionaires often argue for higher tax rates but never for adding brackets (which top out at a low level relative to their incomes).

I mean, we already do so with salaries: N figure salary. Pretty extensible to wealth, I think. Your examples would be 7 figure, 8 figure, and 9 figure wealth.
