Why estimates differ

An editorial reconciliation of conflicting evidence. 2 independently sourced estimates for Ava DuVernay disagree meaningfully — Architectural Digest ($50M) versus Celebrity Net Worth ($60M) — so the range spans both rather than averaging; Architectural Digest's Tier 3 figure is used as the anchor.

The estimated net worth sits at the low end of the reported range here — that reflects the preferred source, not an average. Why estimates work this way.

Lowest reported
$50M
Estimated net worth

Highest reported

Architectural Digest cites $50M while Celebrity Net Worth cites $60M — the range spans both figures rather than picking one.
