Morphology

gazillionaire = gazillion (semi-transparent) = gazillion + aire

The word is transparently modeled on patterns like millionaire, but its meaning is a playful exaggeration rather than a fully regular compositional derivation.

Etymology

Gazillionaire comes from gazillion ('a made-up huge number') plus the ending -aire, like in millionaire. So it is used as an adjective to describe someone who is 'very wealthy' and often sounds joking or exaggerated when talking about great riches.
