- rawland 8y agoThanks, kaybe. After discussions with my SO she suggested to checkout wikipedia, and guess what we found: Privatier ([pʀiˈvaˈtjeː], also spelled Privatus, with the feminine forms Privata or Privatière, meaning "private person") is a French word that was used from the 19th century in Germany and some other countries as a title by members of bourgeois families of substantial financial means in lieu of another professional title. Much like rentier, it denoted someone who did not have to work to make a living, and who lived off their assets of some size, e.g. interest, profits from investments, real estate and current assets. sources: [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatier [1] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rentier https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rentier
- dharmab 8y ago"Privateer" has two more common meanings: - State funded sea pirates, esp. during the 17th and 18th centuries - In motorsports, a team which is funded by a private individual or group instead of a public corporation "Financial independance" is the correct modern term.
