How to use legion in a sentence?

1. Larry Wilmore:

   Stephen was so funny and so unique, he had such a legion of fans and he's a special performer. The way I look at it is I have to be myself and do my own thing and do something different.

   The super rich? They don't pay this tax. They have a legion of lawyers and tax planners.

These are not, as we will hear today, the Paris Hiltons and robber barons of the Teddy Roosevelt days.
