VIPs are considered important for a variety of reason, one being that they tend to have more money, this usually include business leaders, moguls, etc. Basically, if you are millionaire or a billionaire, then you are automatically more important that others who are aren’t.

There is often much overlap in their roles; such as if one is famous or a business leader, they may often have money.

VIPs are often given preferential treatment, which means that they will either be given better products or services. They may have separate VIP entrances or private cars driving them to these entrances. There may also be special areas marked off i.e. VIP areas, where the other folks are not allowed to go. In terms of protection, VIPs often have their own bodyguard, or in case of military or political affiliations, they may have bodyguards assigned to them.
