Why yes they’re called ‘billionaires’ and there’s like 3.5 thousand of them.

Sorry for this odd question, but why "3.5 thousand" instead of 3500 or 3.5k?

"3,5 thousand" seems common in spoken language, but not in writing, afaik. I don't know how common it is in english (and dialects), but in german it is.

Its fine, but in English, three and a half thousand (fraction rather than decimal) is probably more common.
