Season 1 premiered on 8th September 2000 and had its finale on 18th June 2001.Vrei să fii miliardar? had a total of 5 seasons:
Sadly, I don't know the remaining two contestants that became peunltimate prize winners. Four of them were: Dan Ghenea, Gheorghe Bărbieru, Victor Răileanu and Eduard Turcu.
Six contestants also faced the billion question, but walked away with 500,000,000 old lei.
The show saw the billion being won only twice: first by Mihai Popa on 15th April 2001, then by Oltin Tudor Hurezeanu on 8th April 2002. While other Romanian channels provided quiz shows such as Lanțul Slăbiciunilor (Romanian version of The Weakest Link, broadcast on Pro TV), Deștept și Bogat (broadcast on TVR1), none were as successful as Vrei să fii miliardar? (though Lanțul Slăbiciunilor did briefly dethrone Vrei să fii miliardar? when it came to ratings in March 2002). It was this show that made Prima TV a serious competitor to Pro TV and Antena 1. TV Mania, one of the largest TV guides from Romania, awarded Vrei să fii miliardar? the best quiz show three times: in 2001, then in 2002 and finally in 2003 (yes, it won even if it was cancelled in the autumn of 2003). Like every WWTBAM versions from all over the world, it was a huge success in Romania, revolutionising the Romanian television, as well as the quiz show genre from there. The show also made Virgil Ianțu become a Romanian television host, who back then was mostly known as a member of The Fifties, a rock band. Vrei să fii miliardar? had its premiere on 8th September 2000 on Prima TV. Also, today is the 21th anniversary of the very first season of the show. I am starting this thread on the first Romanian version of WWTBAM: Vrei să fii miliardar?, which was broadcast on Prima TV. Hello, WWTBAM fans from all over the world! This is my very first post on this forum.
