What is your net worth?

Around 400 mil.
Loaded question, something to think about rather than answer here:
Does your net worth in real life exceed your net worth in the game?
EDIT: I'm going to try to account for inflation, but it's just a very vague figure. A Canadian inflation counter suggests that something that cost 100 clams in 1915 will cost 2,070 clams in 2015. So, let's round that off to 2,000. Here's the Bad Math part of my equation: that means that over a century, every dollar inflates to a double sawbuck. Eleven centuries from now means that every dollar you have today would have to multiply your net worth by 220.
I'm by no means wealthy, but my current 2014 tax return tells me that in 2015 dollars, I am worth more today than I would be in year 3100, not factoring inflation. That means I am dirt poor in ED terms. However, if I liquidated everything I owned today, froze myself in carbonite and thawed in 3100, I could buy...
Assumption: that a CR develops from a dollar, no adjustments. I'm sure carbonite freezing is expensive. I recall just the claw they used in Empire Strikes Back cost $2,000,000 to fabricate in 1980's dollars. So, if the claw costs that much, I figure everything else would be inflated, too. So likely I'd come out of freezing exactly as wealthy as when I went in, counting inflation.

Asp with a class A FSD plus a few bits and bobs and a few M CR in cash. Will probably be worth a bit more if I ever get back to populated space.
