For the 1961 British comedy film, see Very Important Person (film).
Examples include celebrities, heads of state/head of government, major employers, high rollers, politicians, high-level corporate officers, wealthy individuals, or any other notable person who receives special treatment for some reason. In some cases, such as tickets to events, VIP may be used in a similar way to premium, and can be purchased by anyone. The term was coined between 1940 and 1945 [1], by the Royal Air Force.[2] The term often may be used in a facetious or sarcastic manner, depending on the context in which it is being used.
