net worth

Assets minus liabilities

Net worth is the total value of what someone owns minus what they owe—assets minus liabilities.

For individuals, it includes property, investments, and savings, less debts like mortgages and loans.

Her net worth doubled after the IPO.

The term applies to businesses and governments as well, measuring overall financial position rather than income or cash flow.
