>It's paper wealth based on stock prices.

All wealth is paper wealth. The value of anything and everything changes with the wind and, as such, can only be measured at a moment in time. The ridiculous mantra that wealth isn't truly wealth until it is turned into cash is absurd since the value of cash itself fluctuates with rates of inflation and one currency against another.
