Other assets include any other tangible or intangible assets, such as business ownership, collections, and hobbies. These assets differ greatly, but they are all generally used to fulfill specific personal or business objectives. The value of these assets is usually calculated according to their current market value or appraised value; however, because of the individual nature of these assets, they are often difficult to appraise and may have value only to their owner. You can determine the total dollar value of your assets by adding up the values of all your different types of assets.
