Wikidata, Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons are re-read automatically; Forbes, Bloomberg, Reuters, the Financial Times and Celebrity Net Worth are compared through cited figures rather than scraped. A profile only goes public when at least two independent sources agree and nothing material is in conflict.
Every material number on this profile is stored as a claim with its source, tier, method and confidence. Read the methodology.
