A Very Important Person, or VIP is a person who is accorded special privileges due to his or her status or importance.[1]
Examples include celebrities, heads of state/heads 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 as a title in a similar way to premium, and these "VIP tickets" can be purchased by anyone. The term was coined between 1930 and 1940.
