How do I compare?

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is stored, logged or sent to our server or anyone else. If you use the share link, your numbers are placed after the # in the link, and browsers never send that part to a server. The share image shows only the comparisons, not your actual numbers.

Each celebrity's net worth is the estimate shown on their profile, mostly from Forbes, with the date it refers to. We never make up figures. These are estimates, not official numbers.

When a source like Forbes publishes a yearly earnings figure (for example its highest-paid athletes list), we spread it evenly over the year and see how long it takes to reach your income. Most billionaires have no published yearly earnings, so we use how much their Forbes estimate grew between its two latest annual lists, and we say so. If there is no such figure, or the estimate went down, we skip that stat rather than guess.

To make huge numbers easier to picture, we divide the years it would take you by a 40-year working life. It assumes you save every cent of your pretax income, so the real number would be even bigger.

Pick your currency and type your numbers as usual. We convert them to U.S. dollars using the European Central Bank's daily reference rate, shown under the results, because the celebrity estimates are in dollars.
