The aggregation
Our net-worth estimate for each entity is a recency- and authority-weighted synthesis of every public figure we can find. We pull from the sources Google itself ranks for the head-term query, then weight each claim by the publication’s domain authority and the recency of the figure. The median of that weighted set is what we publish.
We never republish a single source’s number as fact. The breakdown of where the money comes from is our own analytical synthesis, informed by what each source documented but produced as original editorial.
Sources we weight highly
Forbes, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, the New York Times, Variety, Billboard, Sportico, Hollywood Reporter, and SEC filings sit at the top of our weighting. Celebrity-net-worth blogs are read but discounted; affiliate-driven content is read and discounted further. Reddit and YouTube discussions are signals about perception, not facts, and only inform our editorial framing.
What “as of” means
Every estimate carries an as-of date. We refresh quarterly. If a material event moves the number between cycles — an IPO, a sale, a major contract — we update sooner and note what changed.
What we don’t do
We don’t republish source prose verbatim. We don’t cite figures we can’t trace to a documented claim. We don’t fabricate per-business-unit numbers when the source coverage is thin. When a claim is contested or thinly sourced, the article says so.
Corrections
If you’re the subject of a piece — or you have a documented correction — write us at hello@neonhollywood.com. Corrections that change a published figure are noted at the bottom of the article with a dated update line.
