Every net worth figure on Richlytic is an estimate, and this page explains how we get to it. We publish the method so readers can judge the number rather than take it on trust.
What goes into an estimate
- Earnings on record: published salaries, contracts, box-office and streaming data, tour grosses, prize money and reported deal values.
- Business ownership: stakes in companies valued from funding rounds, public filings or comparable sales, discounted for illiquidity.
- Real estate: purchases and sales reported in property records and reputable press.
- Endorsements and media: reported deal sizes and industry rate cards.
- Costs: taxes, agent and management fees, divorce settlements, known debts and lifestyle spending, applied as ranges.
How we combine them
We total documented gross earnings, subtract typical costs for the person’s field and country, add the current value of known assets, and cross-check the result against estimates from established trackers and financial press. Where sources disagree we publish the range and say which end we lean toward and why.
What we do not do
- We do not invent precise numbers where only ranges are supportable.
- We do not treat a company’s valuation as the founder’s cash.
- We do not count income that has not been earned yet, such as unvested contracts.
Updates and corrections
Profiles are reviewed when a major event changes the picture: a contract, a sale, a divorce, a bankruptcy. Each page shows its last update date. If you have documentation that changes an estimate, use the contact page.
