	Millionaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A millionaire is a person who has a net worth or wealth of more than one million United States dollars, euros, UK pounds or units of a comparably valued currency.
		The increasing number of millionaires is partially due to inflation: a million dollars, for example, provides far less purchasing power today than it did in the 19th century.
		The Millionaire was the title of a 1955 TV series about an unseen man of wealth who gave away $1,000,000 to a different person each episode, and a 1931 motion picture about a retired millionaire who buys a gas station to ease his boredom.

	Zap2it - TV news - Regis and Co. Hope to Keep Limits on 'Super Millionaire'
		"Millionaire" came to the United States as a series of short-term events in 1999, and its phenomenal success led ABC to turn it into a weekly series.
		On "Super Millionaire," contestants start with a $1,000 question -- up from $100 in the earlier ABC version and the syndicated version of the game -- and are shooting for a grand prize of $10 million.
		The questions on "Super Millionaire," particularly the first few, will most likely be a little more difficult than in other versions of the game.

		In an ITV1 documentary entitled "Millionaire: a Major Fraud" and presented by Martin Bashir, broadcast in Britain on 21 April 2003 excerpts from the recording were broadcast with enhanced audio highlighting the coughs emanating from Tecwen Whittock.

		The $10,000,000 prize offered by Super Millionaire is the largest prize on offer around the world, although unlike in the original programme the top prize is not paid in one lump sum but paid over 20 years.

		For ABC, putting "Millionaire" on again, with Philbin at the helm, is like trying to revive the goose that laid the golden eggs - the goose ABC cooked, and killed, by running their most successful franchise in a decade into the ground.
		Having admitted that it overexposed "Millionaire" to the point of absurdity, and disaster, ABC executives are back to presenting the program the way it began: as a week-long series of specials, and with a bigger cash prize and two new lifelines to jazz things up a bit.
		But "Super Millionaire," like the original, is instantly and eminently watchable.
