Net worth of 1.6 million … You mean their purchase prices of the properties that their payments to the banks are based on = 1.6 million. AKA their debt = 1.6 million. The aren’t worth 1.6 mill, they owe 1.6 mill. They are worth what the properties can be sold for after they pay the banks off AKA – selling price – 1.6 million.
If they sell for 1.6 million they are essentially at 0. Sell for less and their net worth is negative.
So the media is also confused between debt and wealth.
Cool.
