Far as I can tell you, -dono was used to address samurais back in the time. It also would be used by people of high mentality or ethics and with respectable characteristics, like masters of some arts, people of high social status (not necessarily rich) to address each other, it's not as respectful as -sama and not as ordinary or common as -san.

It has no use in daily common conversations nowadays, but in cases of high formality it can be used. Actually it would be humorous usage if used among the commons.
