So that means that the U.S. has an internal monopoly on Titles. Not only 
that, this means that the title Billionaire is essentially an internal 
proprietary naming convention for the equivalent of Knight, Protector of 
the Kingdom, Honourable fellow or what have you.

Seems to me like control of land and a title 300 years ago could easily 
be equated to control of labour and markets today. That would earn billy 
an Earldom for sure in yesteryear's terminology.

Finally, did Congress approve his entitlment/ing?
