No. Then I'd be a millionaire.


If you define as "millionaire/billionaire" as strictly the amount you hold in cash, yes. However, the commonly accepted definition includes entire net worth which would include the valuation of shares in companies owned.


There are two differences though. One being that the equity is highly illiquid. The other (and more important) being that there is no market validation of the valuation.
