Millionaire was formed in 1999 by former Evil Superstars and dEUS guitarist Tim Vanhamel. In 2001 they recorded their first album, entitled Outside the Simian Flock .

During a concert opening for the Masters of Reality in the SMAK (Ghent) they came to the attention of Josh Homme of the Queens of the Stone Age. Subsequently they were asked to support Queens of the Stone Age on their
European and American tours, and have since toured with Muse and Foo Fighters.

At the begin of 2004 the band started the works for the album Paradisiac, but during the recording session the guitarist Ben Wyers left the band.

In 2005 the band released their second album Paradisiac produced by Josh Homme and finetuned at the studio of fellow Queen of the Stone Age Alain Johannes. Homme has also played guitar with Millionaire for 
some live performances.

In 2006 Millionaire toured with the Taste Of Chaos 2006 festival in the US.

In 2007 the band contributed two songs to the soundtrack of Belgian film Ex Drummer, "Deep Fish" and a cover of the Devo song "Mongoloid"

On 5 December 2008 they announced they were working on a new album, but no new material ever surfaced.
