Morphology
multi-billionaire = billionaire (transparent) = multi + billion + aire
The meaning is directly compositional: 'multi-' adds the idea of several billions to the base 'billionaire'.
Etymology
Multi-billionaire starts with multi- meaning 'many' and uses billion meaning 'one thousand million', following the same pattern as millionaire and billionaire, where -aire marks a rich person. So a multi-billionaire is someone who has 'many' billions of dollars, which explains the modern meaning.
