How it's used
Used primarily in financial and accounting contexts to describe the value of assets minus liabilities. It is a formal term that rarely appears in casual conversation unless discussing investments or business performance. When talking about personal wealth in a more general or colloquial way, people often prefer using terms like 身家.
Examples
His company's net worth is actually very high.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the total value of assets before debts are subtracted, as that would be total assets or 總資產.
