    Tell me you don’t understand net worth without telling me you don’t understand net worth. Do you think being a billionaire means holding a 10,000,000 $100 bills under your materace?

      Net worth can, and is, used as collateral for taking out large loans with little to no interest. So I would say net worth is a pretty good equivalent of cash under the mattress. It just takes one step to access that cash.
