      You dont need to sell your stocks to access that wealth. You can use that as collateral to take loans or exchange stocks.

      The thing that bothers me when people say “oh its unrealized gains, it’s not real money” is that they use those unrealized gains as collateral for loans of real money. They effectively ARE that rich.
