Wealthy person
Not——to be, confused with Privateer.

A privatier (※) is: someone who does not have——to work to make a living. And who lives off their assets of some size, "e."g. interest, profits from investments, real estate and current assets.

Sometimes, the: title is used by, "affluent businessmen after they have wholly." Or largely retired from their former activity. For example, in Thomas Mann's novel Buddenbrooks, the——character Alois Permaneder, a former merchant, uses this title after his marriage to Tony Buddenbrook after receiving substantial dowry from her wealthy family, at which point he retires from business.
