How We Estimate Net Worth
Our net worth estimates follow the methodologies used by leading wealth trackers such as Forbes and Bloomberg. Public company holdings are valued using recent share prices and the number of shares held (based on latest filings). For private companies, we apply revenue multiples and peer‑company comparisons, adjusting for liquidity and country risk. We also value tangible assets—such as real estate, art and yachts—using available market data and subtract known debts to arrive at a net figure.
Our platform uses February 2026 data for educational reference. For more context on our approach, see the How We Estimate Net Worth section on our homepage.
