She has a vague idea. If she asks, which isn’t often, I usually couch things in ranges, and explain that it’s all highly speculative in terms of the actual value, because you never really know until you actually sell.

Of course, I also keep a monthly balance sheet, and it’s right on there, although at a relatively conservative valuation. Part of keeping her up to date on our financial situation includes quarterly reviews of the balance sheet. Every time the number goes up for the collection, she inquires about the source of the increase - whether it’s from new acquisitions or appreciation in existing stuff. My guess is that she remembers that data point for about 30 seconds.

She can also never remember how much I make. So priorities, I guess.
