Examples include celebrities, major employers, high rollers, politicians, high-level corporate officers, wealthy individuals, or any other notable person who receives special treatment for some reason. The term “Very Important Person” comes from aviation, and appeared in the community of Russian emigrants in the 1920s. Whilst most of them used to be aristocrats before year 1917, during their live in France and England they have partially lost their high status.
