Excuse my ignorance, but what's a baller? Someone who attends a ball?

Maybe it was Cinderella and Prince Charming.

baller

A thug that has "made it" to the big time. Originally referred to ball players that made it out of the streets to make millions as a pro ball player, but now is used to describe any thug that is living large.

Pain is a part of the game when you're a baller.

I think it comes from the term Highballer.

Highballer
1. A treeplanter who consistently plants a lot more trees than anyone else.

2. A misguided young person who has been conned into generating a tremendous amount of wealth for a treeplanting company. In exchange this person receives pitiful percentage of the wealth being generated, all the sex they can handle, and life-long soft tissue damage to the back, knees, shoulder, elbow & wrist.
1. Ed: "Holy shit, did you hear how many trees Sam put in today?" Sally: "Yeah that guy is a total highballer."

a baller is someone whos flash with the cash,
its not someone whos just rich and has a lot of money though, a certain level of "swag" is required

This is the most impressive wedding setup I've seen, on Kampuchea Krom back in May. There were 30 air con units lined up along the side, plus a catering marquee bigger than most people's wedding marquee.

I imagine there's hundreds of these weddings you describe each year. There's a whole army of military and police ballers in this country, just go near a ministry and
count the high end Lexi coming in and out per minute.
