What Counts as a Correction?

A correction addresses information that was inaccurate, materially incomplete, incorrectly calculated, wrongly attributed, or presented with more certainty than the available evidence justified at the time of publication.

A difference of opinion does not automatically establish an error. Net worth estimates can vary because publications use different dates, sources, valuation methods, ownership assumptions, and deductions. We revise an estimate when stronger evidence or a valid calculation issue shows that the existing figure is no longer reasonable.

Corrections and Updates Are Different

A correction fixes information that was wrong or materially misleading. An update adds new information that became available after publication. An article can require an update even when the earlier version was accurate based on the evidence available at that time.

Minor changes to spelling, punctuation, formatting, broken links, or page layout may be made without a formal correction notice when they do not change the meaning of the article.

How to Submit a Correction Request

Send correction requests to info@therichinsider.com with the subject line Correction Request. A clear and specific request helps us identify the issue and review it efficiently.

Please include the following information where possible:

• The full URL of the article involved.
• The exact sentence, figure, quotation, or claim you believe is wrong.
• A clear explanation of the proposed correction.
• A link or copy of the evidence that supports the request.
• The relevant date, currency, ownership percentage, or contract period.
• Your relationship to the subject, if relevant to the request.
• Permission details if you submit a private document for review.

Please do not send passwords, complete bank records, government identification numbers, payment-card details, medical records, or unrelated sensitive information. If confidential material may be necessary, contact us first and explain the type of evidence without sending it.

How We Review a Request

A correction request first receives an initial review to identify the disputed claim and determine whether the supporting material is relevant. We may check the source’s authenticity, date, authority, and connection to the claim.

The review may involve the original writer, an editor, a researcher, or another person with relevant knowledge. A complex request may take longer when it involves private companies, legal records, disputed documents, historical exchange rates, or evidence from several jurisdictions.

We may contact the requester for clarification or additional support. A request can be closed without a change if the evidence does not support the proposed correction, cannot be authenticated, addresses an immaterial issue, or asks us to replace a supported conclusion with an unsupported claim.

How We Display Corrections

The way a correction appears depends on its importance. A minor typographical repair may not require a note. A material change that affects the central estimate, ownership analysis, major income claim, quotation, or ranking position should be disclosed more clearly.

A correction note may identify what changed and when the page was updated. The note does not need to repeat private information, legal correspondence, or unnecessary details about the person who reported the issue.

An update note may be used when new information changes the article but the previous version was not necessarily inaccurate. The note can identify the new contract, transaction, filing, or other event added to the analysis.

Changes to Net Worth Estimates

A correction to one fact does not always require a change to the final net worth estimate. The editorial team considers whether the corrected information is material enough to affect the central estimate or reasonable range.

When a change does affect the estimate, we review the complete calculation. We do not simply add or subtract the headline amount. Ownership, tax exposure, debt, partner shares, liquidity, fees, and other related factors may also need review.

A corrected estimate may increase, decrease, or remain within the existing range. The result depends on the evidence and the method explained in our Net Worth Methodology.

Requests From Article Subjects and Representatives

A person covered in an article, or an authorized representative, may submit a correction request. We welcome first-party evidence that can clarify ownership, contracts, transactions, identity, or another material fact.

We may request reasonable proof that a person is authorized to act for the article subject. An email domain, public professional listing, authorization letter, or another suitable record may help establish that relationship. We do not request more personal information than is reasonably needed for the review.

First-party status does not automatically make every statement conclusive. A submitted claim is assessed against available records, context, and other reliable evidence. We may accurately describe a claim as a statement from the subject or representative when independent confirmation is unavailable.

Removal Requests

A correction request and a removal request are not the same. We do not remove accurate, relevant, and lawfully published information merely because it is unfavorable or because the subject prefers that it not appear.

We will consider removal, redaction, or limitation when a request raises a valid legal, privacy, safety, identity, or factual concern. The review may consider the public interest, the nature of the information, the subject’s role, the quality of the evidence, the age of the material, and applicable law.

A request to remove content should identify the exact page and explain the specific legal, privacy, safety, or accuracy basis. Broad demands without enough information to assess the issue may not result in action.

Appeals and Further Evidence

If a correction request is declined, the requester may send additional evidence or explain a material issue that was not addressed in the first review. The subject line should state Correction Review and include the earlier correspondence.

Repeated submission of the same unsupported claim may not receive a new review. A further review is most useful when it includes a new primary record, corrects a misunderstanding, or identifies a specific problem in our earlier response.

Our Commitment

We do not promise that every requester will agree with our conclusion. We do promise to assess credible correction requests according to the evidence and the same editorial standards used in the original article.

When we make a material mistake, we aim to correct it clearly. When the existing article remains supported, we may retain it. When new information changes an accurate older article, we may update the page and its estimate date.
