<P> Bruno Mars came up with the lyrical concept for `` Billionaire '' during a trip to London in which he was given £ 240 ( $350 ) by his record label to spend for 11 days . He found the amount of money to be insufficient , and explained `` We were like , ' Is this the biggest mistake we 've ever made ? We thought we were broke in California ; what are we going to do here ? ' So we 've got no money , and I 'm walking the streets and came up with , ' I wan na be a billionaire , so freakin ' bad . ' '' With the song , McCoy intended to avoid `` superficial '' lyrics in the wake of an economic recession , and added `` There 's something to sing about here ; if I was in the position to have a ridiculous amount of money , would I be selfish or selfless ? ' I just took that concept and ran with it . '' </P>
