Well, you see, I have this really bad habit of actually viewing various, and varied, reports and remembering their contents. Here's a bit of back up (oddly and surprisingly easy to find by just typing "donald trump actual worth" into Google):

Last year the Trump Organization reported nearly $9.5 billion in revenues, but public filings by President Donald Trump suggest that the company actually earned between $600 and $700 million in 2016. Crain's, a leading New York business publication, claimed that the Trump foundation had been reporting an inflated revenue since at least 2010. The publication moved the company from the number 3 spot on the list to number 40.
“It was obviously very important to Donald to have his company on the top of the list...but the numbers that he presented are just flagrantly untrue,” Crain’s senior reporter Aaron Elstein told NPR.

...and there are a lot more, you just have to look them up...
Of note in a lot of the article regarding his net worth, almost no mention is made of his debt and its nature. Trump has a very heavy debt load and some of his debt is shrouded in questions about the sources of the lending and their conditions, notably Trump's loans through Deutsche Bank (a necessity since US banks won't do business with Trump due to his history of loan defaults and/or bankruptcies); there have been reports the DB loans were informally underwritten by Russian interests tied to Putin, something yet to be fully verified and another reason why Trump might be so skittish about releasing his tax returns, etc...
So, the information is all out there; I mean, Hannity and/or Fox News aren't the only sources available in the real world...
