My Net Worth Is…

“What is Robin Greenfield’s Net Worth”

See My 2025 Net Worth update here.

Interestingly, when my name is typed into a search engine, one of the top suggestions is “Robin Greenfield net worth.” I’m not sure why that would be one of the most commonly searched subjects on me, but it is. Perhaps because much of the society I live in values others based on how much money they make.

I did the search myself and found multiple websites that estimate my net worth and none were accurate. Two of them even say that my net worth is between one and five million dollars. On the contrary, I have promised never to be a millionaire and have committed to earning less than the federal poverty threshold annually for life.

(These sites report “Robin Greenfield’s primary income source is being a successful YouTube Star.” First, I do not have my channel monetized, and make no income from it. Secondly, I am not a YouTube star. These sites are not doing their ‘due diligence’ and likely just assume I monetize my channel.)

Hopefully, this page will be the first to show when people search for this information. This page is continuously updated with my accurate net worth.

Since 2015, my net worth has been under $15,000 and has generally ranged from $2,000 to $10,000. The value of my material possessions has ranged from $500 to $7,000 since 2016.

I have no bank account or savings account, no credit card or debit card, no investments, stocks or precious metals, no retirement fund, no monthly bills and no debts owed to others or others’ debts to me. I have no money to my name elsewhere, just the cash I carry with me.

I am in no way trying to simulate poverty. I am a person with many privileges and I acknowledge this.

I simply cannot rationalize having so much, while so many others have so little. I take my lack of net worth to an extreme to be an example that can stimulate self-reflection in others and inspire them to spread their resources and wealth to others. You can read more about this here.

Here I share my net worth since I began to live simply and decentralize money from my life. In replacement of money, I have embraced developing my personal skills and deepening my relationships with Earth, humanity and the plants and animals we share this home with.

I share my net worth as a matter of transparency and to demonstrate my real dedication to this work for equity, justice and sustainability. I don’t expect anyone who reads this to follow suit in the same manner. However, I do deeply hope that those who have an abundance of financial wealth and material resources will share use them for the good of Earth, humanity and the plants and animals we share this home with.
