Net worth figures on the internet are often inflated, vague, or based on little more than recycled guesses. At TechieGamers, we take a more grounded approach.
Our aim is to publish clear, defensible net worth figures that readers can understand and trust – even when the exact number is unknowable.
What “Net Worth” Means on TechieGamers
When we publish a net worth figure, we are estimating:
The total value of a person’s assets minus liabilities, based on publicly available and verifiable information.
Because most people do not disclose full balance sheets, every figure should be read as an estimate, not a precise accounting.
Our Core Principles
1. Conservative by default
If there is uncertainty, we err on the lower end of plausible ranges. We avoid hype-driven numbers and headline inflation.
2. Evidence-first
We prioritise:
- Reputable media reporting
- Regulatory filings or court documents
- Direct quotes from interviews
- Verified ownership or equity disclosures
Rumours, anonymous claims, and unsourced figures are excluded.
3. Revenue is not wealth
High revenue does not automatically translate to high personal wealth. We account for:
- Ownership percentage
- Profit margins
- Taxes, dilution, and costs
4. Time matters
Income streams are assessed over realistic timeframes. We avoid assuming constant growth or lifetime earnings unless supported by evidence.
How We Calculate Net Worth
Each figure is built from individual components. Only sources with sufficient support are included in the final figure.
Common Components
- Business ownership & equity – Reviewing using valuation benchmarks and disclosed stakes
- Salary or compensation – Included only when publicly reported or credibly disclosed
- Media income – Advertising, sponsorships, books, speaking, or licensing — adjusted for platform norms
- Investments – Included if publicly acknowledged or strongly evidenced
- Real estate – Counted only when ownership is confirmed by reporting or records
- Liquidity events – Acquisitions, exits, or share sales where figures are public
Net Worth Ranges, Not Single Numbers
Where appropriate, we publish:
- A low estimate (high confidence)
- A high estimate (upper plausible bound)
- A most defensible figure based on available data
This reflects real-world uncertainty rather than false precision.
How We Assess Confidence
Before publishing any net worth figure, TechieGamers applies an internal confidence assessment. This framework helps us decide whether a figure is publishable, whether it should be presented as a wider range, or whether it should not be published at all. The assessment is used for editorial decision-making and quality control.
Internal Confidence Factors
We score three things internally.
1) Evidence strength
How reliable is the underlying information?
- 5 – Primary sources (filings, official records, contracts disclosed in court), or direct, attributable disclosures
- 4 – Multiple independent, reputable outlets reporting similar financial facts
- 3 – Partial disclosures plus reasonable assumptions that can be explained plainly
- 2 – Limited public facts; heavy inference required
- 1 – Very sparse information; too many moving parts to model responsibly
2) Transparency
Can a reader follow the logic without taking our word for it?
- 5 – Clear breakdown of inputs and assumptions; easy to audit
- 3 – Some assumptions are required, but they’re stated and bounded
- 1 – The figure would require too many opaque guesses
3) Recency
How current is the information we’re relying on?
- 5 – Meaningful financial data updated within the last 6 months
- 3 – Data is 12–24 months old but still relevant
- 1 – Data is older than 3 years or clearly out of date
How the internal score affects what we publish
- High confidence – We may publish a tighter range and a clearer “most defensible” figure.
- Medium confidence – We publish a wider range and lean conservative.
- Low confidence – We may publish context without a net worth figure, or we may not publish it at all.
Why This Matters
Net worth figures influence public perception, media narratives, and financial myths. We believe readers deserve numbers that are:
- Explainable
- Evidence-based
- Honest about uncertainty
If better data becomes available, we update our content accordingly.
