ISLAMABAD – A 16-year-old girl named Rohana Khattak from the federal capital has won the New York Times’ Invent a World challenge by suggesting a noun for some leaders of the globalized economy.
Rohana Khattak has invented “oblivionaire” which means a billionaire who chooses to be blind to the disparity and inequality that his or her wealth is creating.
The new English world is a combination of “oblivious” and “billionaire”. Rohana has also given an example to explain how oblivionaire can be used in a sentence:
Congratulations to Rohana Khattak, a Pakistani teenager, for inventing the word. https://t.co/TiklBp1lAh

“Gen Z’s furor over the so-called oblivionaires who ignore global crises is blowing up on social media, in a campaign being noticed by many global and political figures.”
Pakistan Ambassador to US Sardar Masood Khan has congratulating the teenager for inventing the world.
