What does "three commas club" mean in wealth slang?
The term "three commas club" refers to individuals whose net worth is at least one billion dollars, because billion-dollar figures contain three commas (e.g., 1,000,000,000). The structure is a numerical metaphor where punctuation marks represent levels of wealth. It is informal financial slang commonly used in business and startup culture to describe billionaire status.
