Does rank measure actual wealth?
No. It represents only cumulative, confirmed, non-refunded spending on Richest.fr.
What am I buying?
A digital ranking and visibility service: a public profile, leaderboard position, historical reign record, and shareable status card.
Will I stay at my estimated rank?
Not necessarily. Final rank is calculated after Stripe confirms payment. Other people may spend before or after you.
Do I get a refund if someone beats me?
No. Losing or failing to reach a particular rank is not grounds for an automatic refund.
Can payments generate returns?
No. This is not an investment, competition prize, jackpot, pooled fund, or revenue-sharing product.
Are the people and numbers real?
In production, only confirmed payments and real measured events are displayed. Local development may use clearly labelled fictional seed data.
