About our sources
Net worth figures move constantly and sanctions lists are revised without notice. Every figure on this site carries the date it was recorded and the source it came from — primarily the OFAC sanctions list, the EU and UK consolidated lists, and published estimates from Forbes and Bloomberg. Where a claim is contested or unproven, we say so rather than repeating it as fact.
