ISLAMABAD - A 16-year-old girl from the capital city of Pakistan 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:“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.”Congratulations to Rohana Khattak, a Pakistani teenager, for inventing the word. https://t.co/TiklBp1lAh — Masood Khan (@Masood__Khan) April 5, 2022Pakistan Ambassador to US Sardar Masood Khan has congratulating the teenager for inventing the world.
