In the most technical sense of the term, yes, billionaires several times over are citizens. But I'd argue that a citizen in the truest sense of the word contributes meaningfully to a community. By hoarding their billions and perpetuating (even exacerbating) exploitation in the pursuit of more billions negates them being true citizens. They reap from society and the environment more than they contribute.
