“Millionnaire” flips the usual idea of money on its head. Instead of dreaming about sports cars or private jets, Soprano sings about becoming rich with things that can’t be bought: a loved one’s smile, the courage to rebuild, victories over illness, and the wisdom to forgive. Every line is a shopping list of priceless treasures—freedom, diversity, hope—that he wants to stash in his heart, not in a bank account. When he begs, “If you love me, make me a millionaire,” he is really asking for a fortune made of joy and shared humanity.
The song also shows what Soprano never wants in his pockets: tears, fanaticism, war, disease, and hatred. By saying he wants to be poor in suffering, he highlights how true wealth comes from wiping those debts away and filling the world with kindness instead. “Millionnaire” is an uplifting reminder that the best currency is compassion, and that anyone can strike it rich by investing in love, unity, and hope.
