    "text": "Editorial Policy How we decide what to publish This page sets out the standards every profile on CelebrityWorths is held to — where information comes from, how it is checked, what gets rejected, and what happens when we get something wrong. It is published so you can hold us to it. The principle Show the source, or do not publish the claim Almost everything on this site follows from that one rule. The category we work in has a specific failure mode. One site publishes a figure. A second copies it without checking. A third cites the second. Within a year the number appears across dozens of pages and looks authoritative purely because of how often it has been repeated — while the original source, if one ever existed, has disappeared entirely. We are not immune to being wrong. Nobody is. What we can control is whether a reader can trace any claim we make back to where it came from, and judge it for themselves. That is the entire editorial proposition. What this looks like in practice Every profile carries an evidence table listing each significant claim, the source it came from, the date that source published it, and a confidence label. If a figure cannot be attached to a named origin, it either does not appear on the page or it appears explicitly flagged as unverifiable. Sourcing Not all sources carry equal weight When sources conflict, we do not average them or pick the most interesting one. We work down this hierarchy, and we tell you which tier a figure came from. 1 Primary documents Official announcements, published contracts, regulatory filings, registry entries, court records and direct on-the-record statements. An organisation’s own published statement about itself outranks anything written about it second-hand. 2 Named reporting from established outlets Reporting carrying a byline and an editorial standard, from a publication with an accountable correction process. Strong, but still second-hand — and labelled as reported rather than verified. 3 Specialist trackers and databases Industry data services and analytics platforms. Useful for scale and trends, but their methodologies are rarely published, so figures from here are treated as estimates and marked accordingly. 4 Everything else Unbylined aggregator pages, social media claims, forum posts and anonymous sources. These do not support a published claim on their own. Occasionally we cite one to note that a claim exists and is unverified — never to assert it as fact. Process How a profile is built Every page goes through the same six stages. It is considerably slower than copying, which is precisely the point. Establish what is documented Before writing anything, we work out which claims about this person are actually recorded somewhere public, and which are simply repeated. That determines whether a page is worth building at all. Gather every published figure Not just the convenient one. If six outlets give six different numbers, all six are collected, along with who published each and when. Reconcile the differences Discrepancies usually come down to currency, date, or scope. We identify the cause and explain it on the page rather than silently choosing one figure over another. Sanity-check the arithmetic Where a claim can be tested against published inputs, we test it. A figure that cannot survive basic arithmetic does not go on the page, however widely it is repeated elsewhere. Assign confidence labels Each claim in the evidence table is graded. An official announcement and an unattributed rumour do not get the same visual weight, because they do not deserve it. Date it and schedule a review The page records when it was checked. Profiles of active figures are revisited when contracts renew, seasons reset, or significant verifiable news breaks. Labelling The four confidence levels These appear beside every claim in our evidence tables. They exist so a reader never has to guess how solid a number is. Verified Confirmed in a primary document we have read ourselves. The strongest label available, applied only to tier-one sources. Reported Published by a named outlet with a real editorial standard, but not independently confirmed by us. Credible, and honestly limited. Estimated A calculation or projection rather than a disclosed figure — whether ours or someone else’s. Indicates scale, not fact. Disputed Credible sources materially disagree. We publish the range and the reason for the gap rather than pretending to a certainty nobody has. The same claim, handled two ways How it is usually written “Their net worth is $12 million.” How we write it “Published estimates range from $4 million to $15 million. The lower figure comes from a tracker using ad-revenue modelling; the higher one includes property and business interests that others exclude. No audited figure exists, so we publish the range and explain the gap rather than picking one.” Standards The rules we hold ourselves to 01 Human authorship A person researches, writes and edits every profile before it is published. We do not auto-generate pages, and we do not publish machine-written text that has not been rewritten, sourced and verified by a human being who takes responsibility for it. 02 The two-source rule Any claim not drawn from a primary document requires two independent, reputable sources before publication. Two outlets both citing the same original report count as one source, not two — a distinction that catches a surprising amount of circular reporting. 03 No rumour laundering We do not repeat a claim simply because it appears widely. If a figure is everywhere but traces back to no identifiable origin, we either leave it out or state plainly that it is unverifiable and where it seems to have started. 04 Our own calculations are declared Where we work something out ourselves — projecting earnings from published rates, or testing whether a circulating figure is plausible — the page says so explicitly and shows the inputs. Our arithmetic is never presented as a reported fact. 05 Dates are always visible Every page carries a published date and, where revised, a last-checked date and an update log. A figure that was accurate two years ago and a figure confirmed last month are different things, and a reader is entitled to see which they are looking at. 06 Corrections are visible, not silent Substantive corrections are recorded in the page’s update log rather than quietly edited away. If we published something wrong, the record shows that we published it and that we fixed it. Typographical fixes are made without a log entry. 07 Privacy limits We cover public roles and matters of public record. We do not publish home addresses, private contact details, medical information, unverified claims about relationships, or any material concerning the minor children of public figures. These limits are not negotiable, including for advertisers. 08 Commercial independence This site is funded by advertising. Advertisers see no content before publication, have no influence over what we cover or how, and cannot request the removal of unfavourable material. Where a page carries a commercial or affiliate link, that is disclosed on the page. 09 Right of reply Anyone featured here, or their authorised representative, may request a correction, an addition, or removal. Those requests are prioritised. Where a challenged claim cannot be properly sourced, it comes down rather than being defended. 10 Conflicts of interest If we ever have a personal, financial or professional connection to someone we are writing about, that connection is disclosed on the page. Where the conflict is significant enough to compromise the coverage, we do not publish it at all. Editorial judgement What makes it in, and what gets cut Knowing what to leave off a page is the harder discipline. Anyone can add information. ✓ Publishable Figures from official announcements and published documents Fees and rates confirmed by two independent named outlets Career facts and milestones with traceable sources Ranges where credible sources disagree, with the reason shown Our own calculations, clearly labelled as ours Context explaining how an industry actually pays people Corrections to claims we previously published ✕ Rejected A single precise net worth where no audited source exists Figures that cannot be traced to any named origin Claims resting on one unbylined aggregator page Numbers that fail a basic arithmetic sanity check Private addresses, contact details or family information Speculation about relationships, health or private conduct Asset lists copied from other sites without sourcing Anything an advertiser asked us to include Corrections What happens when we get something wrong We will get things wrong. The measure of an editorial standard is what happens next, not the claim that it never occurs. Every correction request is read by a person the same day it arrives. We go back to the source the original figure came from, compare it against whatever you have sent us, and reach a decision — usually within three working days, faster where the subject of a profile is involved. If we were wrong, the page is corrected and the change is logged with the date. If we were right, you get an explanation of why, along with the source we relied on, so you can judge the reasoning yourself. What you will not get is silence. Where a claim is challenged and we cannot properly source it, the claim comes down. We do not defend material we cannot evidence simply because it was already published.

There is no editorial board to hide behind and no rotating byline to absorb a mistake. If something here is wrong, it is mine to fix. Questions Questions about how we work Why publish an editorial policy at all? Because in this category almost nobody does, and the absence tells you something. A site unwilling to state its sourcing standards in public is a site that would rather you did not examine them. Publishing ours means a reader can check whether we actually follow it — and tell us when we have not. Do you use AI to produce content? Research, verification and editing are human work. Where any tool assists with structure or phrasing, a person still does the sourcing, checks every claim and makes the final call on what is published. We do not auto-generate pages and we do not publish machine output unchecked. Our authorship position is declared in the page markup, not just asserted here. What if two sources you trust completely disagree? Then we publish both, label the claim disputed, and explain what is driving the gap — most often currency, date, or a difference in what is being counted. Manufacturing a false consensus by averaging two figures, or quietly picking the one that reads better, would be less accurate than admitting the disagreement exists. Can advertisers influence what you publish? No. Advertisers do not see content before it goes live, cannot request additions or removals, and have no input into which subjects we cover. Advertising is served by third-party networks and its presence on a page carries no editorial meaning. Any commercial link within our own content is disclosed on that page. How do you decide who to write about? Two tests. First, is there genuinely documented public information about this person’s professional finances — announced contracts, published rates, filings? Second, is the existing coverage poor enough that careful work would improve on it? A subject failing the first test does not get a page, no matter how much search demand exists for the name. Do you accept guest posts or sponsored articles? No. We do not publish guest articles, sponsored posts, or paid links within editorial content. Anyone offering payment for a link or a mention will not receive a reply. Legitimate display advertising is a separate matter and does not touch the content. How often are existing pages reviewed? Profiles of active figures are revisited whenever contracts renew, seasons reset, or significant verifiable news breaks. Beyond that, pages are reviewed on a rolling basis. Each one shows when it was last checked, so you can see for yourself rather than take our word for it. Where else can I read about your standards? Our disclaimer sets out the limits of what any figure on this site can tell you and what it should not be relied on for. The about page explains why the site exists and the specific problem it was built to address. Hold us to this If you find a page on this site that does not meet the standards set out here, that is worth telling us about. It is the most useful message we receive.
