Net worth looks like a misplaced decimal point: $5,000 reported, listed items add up to $505,000
Reported net worth: $5,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $505,000. The reported figure is almost exactly 1/100 of the $505,000 the listed items add up to, which suggests a misplaced decimal point (or digits run together) when it was entered. The listed items are what this filing actually documents.
