Morphology

zillionaire = zillion (transparent) = zillion + aire

The construction conveys 'having or characterized by zillions' and is extendable beyond money (e.g., followers), so the meaning is productively inferable.

Etymology

Zillionaire mixes the playful zillion and the -aire of millionaire, creating the idea of 'a huge number' that you cannot really count. So people also use zillionaire in a funny way for someone or something with an enormous number of followers or things, not only money.
