> If you have a negative net worth (more debt than assets) you're generally not considered a wealthy person.

That's only true if your debt and assets are both small. If you have $200 million in assets and $500 million in debt, you will be considered a wealthy person. You would only stop being wealthy if your stuff got taken away.
