About NetWorth Explained

About Us

NetWorth Explained (NWE) is the place for clear, transparent breakdowns of the marketing tools, SaaS platforms, and software that actually grow your business and your net worth. We take a rigorous, analytical approach to create honest reviews with real pros and cons, pricing realities, who a tool is genuinely good for (and who should skip it), realistic ROI expectations, and direct comparisons to alternatives.

Why We Created NetWorth Explained

We originally created NWE because nobody in the public-figure net worth space showed their work. Magazines and sites threw out big numbers while hiding behind vague claims of "proprietary algorithms" or "insider knowledge." That's why we started the world's only publication that transparently showed every assumption, every variable, and every calculation. We're still the only ones who do it this way.

That's why our math and reasoning is always transparent. That's NetWorth Explained. You can read exactly how we evaluate tools on our methodology page.

What We Build

We are practitioners. Alongside our reviews, we design and ship production software using the same tools and platforms we write about. Our flagship project, NYC Live, pulls hundreds of public data feeds into a single real-time command center for New York City. It refreshes continuously and is open for anyone to use.

Building in public keeps our analysis honest. When we say a platform scales or holds up under real load, it's because we've run it ourselves at production volume. You can see the full breakdown of how we built it on our projects page.

Who Writes Here

Content on NetWorth Explained is written and reviewed by the site's authors. Greg Birman has spent over a decade building and operating digital businesses, and brings that first-hand experience to the SaaS and software reviews published here. Zack Miller covers the money behind public figures in entertainment and the creator economy, from what actors earn per film to how online creators actually get paid. The net worth and personal finance analysis on this site draws on publicly available, named data sources: primarily the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, Bureau of Labor Statistics salary data, disclosed compensation, and public filings, with every assumption made explicit.

Editorial Standards

All figures cited in our articles come from named, verifiable sources. Where we model scenarios or make projections, we show the inputs so readers can check the math themselves. Opinion pieces are clearly labeled as such. Personal finance content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Readers should consult a qualified financial professional before making investment or planning decisions.
