44. A lot of idiots on Threads (and elsewhere) have zero understanding of the phrase "net worth"

It's kind of infuriating to see it and phrases like that (i.e. "what they're worth" )because it puts a spotlight on some people's ignorance and gullibility.

Net worth is assets minus liabilities. What you own minus what you owe. It is NOT available cash on hand. To realize the figure known as her net worth, TS would need to sell everything she owns. Then, after paying any and all outstanding loans, invoices, and other liabilities, only then would she have access to an amount of cash equivalent to her net worth.
