"**An asset is anything that would still be valuable without you**. Consider the traditional assets. Your home doesn’t change in value when you walk out the door. Shares in a blue-chip company don’t fall if a shareholder takes a holiday. Assets such as art, wine and metals maintain value regardless of what their owners are doing."
