Answer: Travie McCoy

Travie McCoy joined with The Smeezingtons to write "Billionaire". Bruno Mars once said that the idea for the song came from him walking down the street and thinking about how he would like his finances to improve, and the first sentence of the song occurred to him: "I wanna be a billionaire, so freaking bad".

The song reached position number four in the US Billboard Hot 100 list, and was McCoy's first single as a solo artist.
