Squillionaire charges outstanding number attending (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
bill gates
'squillionaire' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'charges outstanding number attending' is the wordplay.
'charges' becomes 'bills' ('bill' can be a synonym of 'charge').
'outstanding' is an insertion indicator (some letters standing outside or around others).
'number attending' becomes 'gate' (I've seen this before).
'bills' enclosing 'gate' is 'BILL GATES'.
