You don't understand.

If their "worth" might cause them an inconvenience like taxation, then you have to understand that it's merely a quirky feature of how stock is valued and totally fictional.

However, if they need to fund purchase of a yacht and need to borrow against that worth, then you have to understand it is a real and supremely meaningful thing.

See how perfectly reasonable it all is?
