It is the 1 Year and 1 month anniversary of the wealthy blogger list. I decided to take a look back at the original list to see how we have come. So there is two lists today. One shows those from the original list who are still on it today and how far they have come over the last year. The second list is the complete wealthy blogger list. On the complete list I tried to mark where people have included assets in their net worth calculation. If they include the value of a home, auto, or other fixed asset I added an * after their net worth value.

thanks for including me on the new list.

Kyle, Very interesting!!! It’s motivating for all to see folks making their way up the financial ladder. Been reading the blog for a while, great job. You might enjoy The Elements of Investing, Malkiel and Ellis, an awesome and SHORT investment book!
Best!

Its nice to see that most everyones figures are increasing.
It would be interesting to see two numbers: total net and total net excluding home equity. That’s how the government reports them. It is amazing how much the average numbers drop once you exclude home equity.
I will have to think about that one, it is a lot of work to pull everything together already, there is only one blog that actually posts the numbers both ways.
There’s something weird with Enough Wealth. Either the NW numbers are off, or the percentages.
Guess I wasn’t a math major, I fixed the percentage.
I agree with the home equity comment. Also, although these numbers are very high according to society’s standards, I was expecting a few people dipping into the millions — I’m sure there are bloggers that get to that feat but maybe they just don’t publicize it…?

I know of at least one who has claimed to be in the millions but doesn’t report it. Sun is pretty darn close though.
You’re all so brave sharing your net wealth — I wouldn’t like it to be public because I’d be worried about it affecting my decision making.
Agree it’s very interesting from a readers’ standpoint though.
I feel you Monevator. I feel awkward sharing my entire net wealth, so I try and share a portion since the start of my site. Better than a poke in the eye.

Awesome! 🙂 Inspiring list. Sun basically doubled his money over the last few years I think…. Lots of other pf bloggers doing very well, I hear… 🙂
.-= The Digerati Life´s last blog ..Pay Off Your Student Loans While Carrying A Mortgage =-.
Thanks for including me Kyle! Very motivating to be on the list 🙂
That is awesome “Enough Wealth” grew his or her net worth by $500,000 in 1 year! Gonna go check how s/he did it now!
Congrats everyone for pushing forward!
Rgds,

I think part of that may be the conversion rate but he definitely stacked up some coin. He reports in AUD so his change in his native currency was A$580,214 – A$903,164 for a total increase of A$322,950. Still very much impressive.
Very impressive indeed. I’m not sure I could take the volatility of 100% increases, and 50% decreases to my net worth. I wouldn’t know how to budget for anything if that was the case. Perhaps it’s time to convert all his gains to cash and just shoot for a steady 4% rate of return.
