What does Net Worth Mean?

What is a Net Worth?

It is a quantitative concept which measures the value of an entity. It is applicable ranging from an individual to companies, organizations, sectors and a country as a whole. To put it simply, it is the difference between assets and liabilities. A positive net worth means assets are greater than liabilities, whereas negative net worth mean liabilities are greater than assets.

Formula:

Net Worth = Assets – Liabilities

A little more into Net Worth Concept:

Net worth conveys the financial health of any entity. Asset is anything that is owned and has a monetary value to it while liabilities is a commitment that deplete resources. Assets can be liquid or which can turn into liquid ( example: bank check ). They are non-liquid when they take time to turn into cash (like for example Home). Whereas liability is an obligation that has to be repaid ( example: home loan, car loan etc.,)

Any financial institution or 3rd party look at your assets and liabilities to understand the financial position. Positive net worth or increasing asset base indicates good financial health while negative net worth or increasing liabilities means a bad financial health condition.

It is always a good habit for any entity to maintain a reduce liabilities and increase or maintain a balanced asset base.

What does a Net Worth Mean to a person?

In simple terms, it means the value that is left after subtracting liabilities from assets. Few Examples of liabilities include car loans, student loans, home loans, credit card bills, and other mortgages etc., whereas an individual’s assets are amount in the savings account, home, vehicle, bonds, stocks and other material that has value.

In other words, whatever is left after paying off all the personal debt from asset base is net worth. It is important to understand that value of net worth varies as per the market value of assets and current debt costs.

For example:

Consider a case of Ramu Johnson. His assets include a house valued at $350000, shares worth $150000 and a car worth $35000. His liabilities include a mortgage balance of
$150000 and an outstanding car loan $15000 to be paid.

Now Ramu Johnson’s Net Worth = ($350000+$150000+$35000) – ($150000+$15000)
= ($535000 ) – ($165000)
= $370000

Assuming Ramu Johnson’s financial position after five years as follows –
House value at $350000, Shares value at $180000, savings $ 40000 and car value $25000. While mortgage loan $120000, car loan $0 (paid off).

The Net worth after 5 years would = ($350000+$180000+$ 40000 + $25000 ) – ($120000)
= $595000 – $120000
= $475000

Here it is understood that, although the fact that the value of a house and car decrease, the net worth have increased to $475000. It is because a decline in house loan is less than the overall asset base and decrease in liabilities.

Note that, an individual’s net worth can be negative if his asset base is less than liabilities.

3 Success Lessons From Jake Paul

Jake idolized YouTube sensation Smosh growing up, so he and his brother made a similar channel Zoosh that never got traction.

Throughout his school life, Jake was the class clown. Later on, he focused on wrestling and football, making it to the varsity team. He even trained as a U.S. Navy Seal but dropped out. He and his brother then started posting Vine videos, gaining a large following and paid sponsorships.

2. Finding what you want to do

He then moved to L.A., took acting classes, grew his social media, and somehow landed a role in Bizaardvark, a Disney Channel Comedy Series, as “Dirk”, before being fired due to the Beverly Grove noise complaint class action lawsuit.

Jake’s star truly rose because of his move from Vine to YouTube after Vine’s shutdown. He made 300 hours worth of video in a short amount of time, thus making the platform his main means of income. He then launched the “Team 10” influencer management agency and moved to a mansion in Beverly Grove to make videos there.

3. How to utilize publicity

The careers of the Paul Brothers have benefited from cross-platform synergy, with their fans following them from one platform to another. They along with the success of the Kardashian Family epitomize the truism, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”.
