It isn't, you're right. This is sort of a level-2 level reflection.
...on level 3, under a functioning, free economy (on a sats standard?!), and considered economically and metaphorically (what is an economy, why do we transact with one another, why do we pay another for their services for us?) it kiiind of is. Your net worth, then, is the sum of your economic provision to others.
But yea, not sure how to compute that vis-a-vis family/faith/health etc.
in this case yes, earning ability is kind of an abstraction of the value you bring. i think in a complex society it;s harder to gauge as you get like fiat grifters that are sucking on politians' tees making a ton of money by just being sociopaths.
