Q:
Что значит billionaire dollar hippy ?
A:
It's a very strange sounding phrase.
A "hippy" is a peace-loving, free-spirited person who does a lot of drugs.
"Billionaire dollar" sounds unnatural. If instead it were "billion-dollar" instead, then it would mean "a hippy that *costs* $1 billion to purchase". If it were "billionaire hippy," then it would mean "a hippy who is *worth* $1 billion" (i.e., they have $1 billion)

Synonyms of "Billionaire" and their differences
Q:
В чем разница между He's not the only billionaire business leader to bow out early. и He's not the only billionaire business leader bowing out early. ?
A:
"...to bow out early" has no tense or aspect, the action could occur at any time, past present or future, and it could be completed, ongoing, or in the future.
That's why the "to [do]" form is called the "infinitive", because there are no restrictions
Here, the business leader may have done this years ago, not necessarily at the time of writing.
"...bowing out" means that the action is ongoing, or just about to be done, usually in the present, but not always.
"A is/was/will be the one to [do]..." is a formal structure usually found in formal speech or journalism.
