What’s your net worth if you sold everything?

[Blondiebeachbabe]

Just that really!! Inspired by thinking if I could afford to move abroad. I suppose age helps as well as you’d expect to be worth more the older you are!!

I know many ordinary people who are very wealthy, probably due to my location. So the numbers here don't surprise me one bit.

our net worth of around £1.5m will be far lower than most of the people we know.

Depends where you live

I'd be worth about £80,000 just selling the house (very small but owned outright) and taking into account my savings, plus a little bit of equity in the car.

I haven't taken into account everything I own, though I suppose you could probably add another £3,000 for my gadgets, musical instruments and clothes.

I'm 34.

About £22k. I'm 39.

Well yes but we could say someone who has £10 is richer than someone who has £1.00. Of course I’m rich compared to some but that money has to buy a house for three people (including all the fees that incurs) and in today’s market it’s not going to be much. I have no actual hard cash and will be living on state pension.

Everything added together including investments, I think around £500k. We are mid 30s.

750k equity, 1.3M pension, £40k cash
59 heading towards retirement.

A few people telling lies here I think. Personally I’ve got about 2 billion in liquid assets, just lucky I guess.

About £1.5m (shared with DH) I'm 62

Not a lot. Probably no more than 20k.

I'm 51

I'm 38 - probably about £40 grand give or take... I'd have to sell a hell of a lot at what it's worth though and that's unlikely to be the case.

Between DH & I, we would have nearly £6m. We are 30s.

Age 55

200k savings
725k house equity
200k flat equity
half a 270k flat
1.1 million pension
30k car

All shared with DH.

Late 40s.

About £280,000.

But I wouldn't cash it all in as I want to leave it to my children.

You OK, hun?

In the UK the top 1% of earners earn over £160k p.a. up to whoever the highest earner is.
So if mumsnet is representative of the earning population( it isn't because it's an internet forum,it's mostly women and mostly mothers, some of them will be married to or partners of the highest earners, and some will be the highest earners themselves), there would be about 10,000 mumsnet users in that highest wealth category.
Not all will post of course, but on a thread where there have only been 150 replies it's reasonable to assume the majority of those claiming to be wealthy are being truthful.

Personal assets maybe £450k
Plus business actual cash assets £200-300k (no idea what the business itself is actually worth)
And I couldn’t even guess at my pension without looking it up, so I would guess £700k ish between Dh and I, which is a very privileged position to be in late 30s/early 40s

Exactly. Also depends how old you are. Stands to reason that someone in their 50s, who's had a well-paid professional career, paid into their pension, paid off their mortgage on a good sized house, quite likely to have inherited from their parents, has independent adult children, is highly likely to have a great deal more wealth than someone who is 30.

-£20k student debt, I’m 40 and never earned enough to pay it off!

I’m 50 and my parents are still very busy gallivanting all over the world. Very few of my peers have lost a parent

No, it’s also to allow some people to lie through their teeth.

Around 350k between us. Late 40s. I'm worth far more dead than alive though thanks to insurance and death in service benefits through work...pls nobody tells DH or DCs just how much more.

Including pension pots? Around £1.5 million between us

I'd probably not move now I'm in my early sixties - though on a lottery win I wouldn't rule out London, with a getaway to a place special to my heart.

I've certainly no intention of being the richest person in the graveyard. I entered this world with nothing and I shall leave with nothing.

I don't have many material belongings but I'm not fussed about that.

Maybe £170,000 if I include my car (savings and cheapo car)

We have £750k in 2 houses, plus dh just inherited a house worth about £200k from his father who died at new year.

I have a very small pension, dh has a pension pot worth £1million.

We're both 54.
