magnate
Significado: A wealthy and influential person, especially one who dominates a particular industry or business sector.
Magnate is typically used in journalism and biographical writing to describe powerful business figures. It often appears with an industry qualifier: 'media magnate,' 'shipping magnate,' 'property magnate.' The word carries connotations of both wealth and influence — a magnate shapes their industry, not merely profits from it. Not to be confused with 'magnet.'
