You can be paying a mortgage on a house worth 100,000 dollars, have a dead-end job, live paycheck to paycheck, with no more than 1000 dollars in savings, and still count as a net-worth millionaire.

No you can't, that's not what "net-worth millionaire" is.

Net worth is assets minus liabilities.

If you had no savings or investments and a $100,000 house with a $99,000 mortgage your net worth would be $1,000, not a million dollars.

Huh? Wouldn't that put your net-worth at $101,000 minus the amount owing on your mortgage?
I suppose some agencies count your ability to generate revenue?
No. Networth is your current value, not future.
No they don't.
Not mine, no. I have no house.
