A Very Important Person, or VIP is a person who is accorded special privileges due to his or her status or importance.

Examples include celebrities, heads of state, high rollers, politicians, high-level corporate officers, wealthy individuals, or any other person who receives special treatment for some reason. In some cases, such as tickets to events, VIP may be used in a similar way to premium, and can be purchased by anyone (e.g. [1]). The term was coined between 1940 and 1945 [2], likely by the Royal Air Force.[citation needed]

VVIP (meaning Very Very Important Person) may indicate a level of status above VIP.
