The €10 Billion milestone has officially been rebranded to Titan Scale.
Operating at this scale represents serious industrial power:

* 💎 Prestige Holdings: Crossing €10B unlocks the Executive Prestige Holdings market where you can purchase luxury trophy assets like Skyscraper HQs, Private Jet Fleets, and Superyachts.

2. The New Summit: Tier 6 Empire (€100 Billion)

For the largest conglomerates in the game, we are introducing Tier 6 Empire at €100 Billion net assets!
Reaching Empire status is the pinnacle of Businessgame. Once you cross €100B, the standard progress bars are removed and replaced with a golden celebration banner on your dashboard.
