If you owned it outright, you would be a millionaire tho, just that your net worth is tied up in a non liquid asset.

Billionaires don't hold all their net worth in cash, it's mainly invested in stock and other investments

Yes. That's how net worth works. But it's not that useful. It doesn't fit our notion of a millionaire having a million dollars. When you think of a millionaire you think of having 1 million liquid. I think many people also have a similar mental image of a billionaire, which is a misunderstanding and misconception most of the time.
