Q:
O que significa billionaire dollar hippy ?
A:
It's a very strange sounding phrase.
A "hippy" is a peace-loving, free-spirited person who does a lot of drugs.
"Billionaire dollar" sounds unnatural. If instead it were "billion-dollar" instead, then it would mean "a hippy that *costs* $1 billion to purchase". If it were "billionaire hippy," then it would mean "a hippy who is *worth* $1 billion" (i.e., they have $1 billion)
