It's true, people just above 1 billion are the poorest billionaires.

how on earth do they survive on only 1 billion??

It's not that they're poor in absolute terms, but they're just poorest out of that specific group.

Not as embarrassing as falling into the millionaire category!

I think there is a Simpsons episode where Burns is no longer billionaire and he gets expelled from the club.
