How much is America worth?

Answer 1

That is not an easy question to answer. It depends on what you think the word "worth" means in this context. In the year 2000, the average worth of all US households was $44 trillion.

In 2008, GDP is around $14 trillion. The federal debt is around $10 trillion. Public debt is around $5 trillion. Now, while the layperson thinks of debt as a negative, it is actually an asset if paid back correctly, since it demonstrates to a lender that you spend and are capable of paying off that debt. As such, the American brand is worth far more than it holds, since it has unlimited credit.

Answer 2

In 2012, it was estimated that America was worth $15.68 trillion.
