You could try Golden Empire. It has great acting and is very well written, but I'd only recommend it if you don't mind that the whole drama is focused on business and there's only some very low-key romance.

Are you open to long dramas? If so:

Ugly Alert (133 eps - many of which are skippable)
My Precious You (54 eps - same here)
The World that They Live In - (16 eps)

None of the heroes actually become millionaires during the course of the drama, but they start out poor & end up in a significantly better place by the end.

I would also second the recommendation for Golden Empire above.

Green rose (it's actually a drama about revenge but the main lead is "average" at the beginning -meaning not rich, just an average salaryman, then he becomes very poor and then rich) ^^ hope this helps!

Well, he doesn't really make his own fortune, but My Fair Lady is awesome and fits the Poor Guy bill.

Romance might fit the bill not billionaire but better off.

i can only think of Take care of the young lady but he doesn't really become rich... And I don't really remember but if i'm correct Cinderella Man was about a man trying to be rich and i guess he finds a rich man who looks like him, something like that but i didn't finish it so i don't know if in the end he gets to be rich or not...
