Millionaires started in late Summer 2007 "as an accident" when sisters Melissa and Allison Green used GarageBand. The song was titled "I Like Money", and the teens created a MySpace profile, "Millionaires," which corresponds with their song title's reference to money. Later, they created their second song, entitled "Hoe Down".

This plan dissolved, they had a new EP plan with the title of "Shit Bitch" which was later released entitled Bling Bling Bling! The 5 songs that made it to the EP were re-edited. A lot of the MySpace released songs did not make the EP

They began to perform shows locally and traveled only small distances for shows. They got spots in music festivals such as Rockin' Roots,Bamboozle Left 2008,and Audio Overload 2008.

They also teamed up with hardcore techno dance DJ S3RL and made the myspace released Martinis & Mixed Feelings which a electro techno remix was made for as well.

They made a short song titled "Ooh Uh Huh", which became the theme song for MTV's reality show A Double Shot At Love with the Ikki Twins. Their song "Hey Rich Boy" was also used as the theme for MTV's Teen Cribs. Their song "Alcohol" was also featured on the soundtrack for the third series of Skins. Their songs "I Like Money" and "I Move It" was featured on the MTV show "My Life as Liz." Their cover of 'Chic's' song 'Le Freak' is featured on the MTV movie 'Turn The Beat Around'. On June 23, 2009, they released a new EP entitled from their new single of the EP Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid, which was a resell of Bling! Bling! Bling! just with 2 more tracks.
