Significado
Someone with a lot of money.
Contexto cultural
Historically, a 'rich person' was someone with thousands of animals. This wealth was mobile and vulnerable to weather (zud), leading to a culture of sharing. Wealth is now concentrated in mining and real estate. The 'Zaisan' district in Ulaanbaatar is the stereotypical home of the 'Bayan khün'. In tales, the 'Bayan' is often contrasted with the 'Sübeedei' (wise/clever) poor man. The rich man is often a foil for the hero's wit. While 'Bayan khün' is common, in business, it's more polite to refer to someone's success or company size rather than their personal wealth.
Use with 'маш'
To sound more natural, use 'маш' (very) before 'баян хүн' to emphasize wealth.
Don't over-pluralize
If you use a number, like 'гурван баян хүн', don't add the plural suffix '-үүс'.
