A Stock of Wealth, Not a Paycheck

Net worth generally compares estimated assets with liabilities at a point in time. It is not annual salary, lifetime earnings or money available in a checking account. A founder’s wealth may be concentrated in shares whose price changes every trading day.

Private Values Require Assumptions

Public market stakes have observable prices, while private companies and other assets can be harder to value. Published rankings use methodologies and estimates. Tax liabilities, control, ownership structures and liquidity can complicate simple comparisons.

Use a Dated Snapshot

Our rich list reproduces a small, clearly dated selection from a published ranking. It is not a live wealth tracker. Follow the original source for its methodology and updates; compare like dates and avoid treating estimates as audited personal balance sheets.
