Corrections Policy
Fame Ranker publishes net worth estimates, career timelines, and biographical data on public figures. We get things wrong sometimes — the underlying records are messy, disclosure requirements vary by jurisdiction, and people's finances change faster than filings catch up. When we do, we fix it and say so.
This page explains how to request a correction, what we need from you to act on it, and what happens after you send it.
Who can request one
Anyone. That includes the subject of a profile, an authorized representative (publicist, attorney, manager), a journalist, or a reader who spotted a discrepancy. You don't need to be the subject to flag an error, and subjects don't get special editorial control — they get the same process as everyone else, judged against the same evidence.
How to submit
Email the editorial desk at corrections@fameranker.com with:
- The specific claim you're disputing — quote it, don't paraphrase
- The URL of the profile or page it appears on
- What you believe the correct information is
- Supporting documentation: court filings, SEC disclosures, property records, verified financial statements, on-record confirmation, or comparable primary sources
We weight documentation the same way we weight it when building a profile in the first place: public record beats press release, press release beats aggregator, aggregator beats nothing. A request that says "this number is wrong" without a source to replace it gets logged, but it won't move a figure — we don't swap one guess for another.
What happens after you send it
Every correction request gets a response. Not every request gets a correction — some are mistaken, some lack sourcing, some are asking us to remove an unflattering but accurate figure — but no request goes unanswered.
Target initial response time is 5 business days. That covers acknowledgment and a first read on your evidence, not necessarily a final decision — disputed valuations, contested equity stakes, and multi-source conflicts can take longer to resolve, and we'll tell you if yours is one of them.
How approved corrections are applied
Corrections are never applied silently. Every approved change carries a visible revision note on the profile itself: the date of the change and what changed, stated plainly. We're not going to quietly re-round a net worth figure and act like we always had it right — the premise of this site is that we show our work, and that includes the work of fixing it.
If a correction affects a figure that feeds into a ranking, a comparison, or a profile's Paper Trail Grade, the revision note says that too.
If we decline a request
You get a reason, not a form letter. Common ones: the original figure is sourced and stands, the proposed "correction" is itself unsourced, or the dispute is about interpretation — what counts as liquid versus illiquid net worth, for instance — rather than fact. You can send additional documentation at any time. There's no limit on resubmissions and no penalty for being wrong the first time.
Scope
This policy covers every entry on Fame Ranker, including net worth estimates, Paper Trail Grade scores, and the registry-style profiles formerly published under Net Worth Envy — that content now lives here, under the same sourcing standard and the same corrections process. One editorial desk, one policy, no separate track for legacy pages.
