Updated on November 20, 2024: The November 2024 update for Monopoly Go brought plenty of changes to the net worth system in Monopoly Go, so we’re here to update our guide to reflect the changes and offer a bit of insight into that mysterious Bank of Monopoly goal on the net worth map as well.
What Is Net Worth In Monopoly Go?
As with the classic board game of Monopoly, the overall goal in Monopoly Go is to become worth as much money as you can, but anyone who’s played the Hasbro board game knows that you don’t just make money – you need to invest in your tiles around the game board to do that!
How To Increase Your Net Worth
But since Monopoly Go plays a bit differently from the classic board game, the way you boost your net worth here is different as well. To increase your net worth in Monopoly Go, you’ll need to invest in building up the five buildings on each Monopoly Go game board. On each board, you’ll have five total buildings, and each building can be upgraded six times.
Paying for one upgrade level correlates to one house being placed on your current game board, which you’ll see physically placed on one of the many colored tiles around your current Monopoly Go game boards when you go back to start rolling again. There are hundreds of game boards to work your way through, each with their own individual themes, so there’s always more building to be done! Your net worth increases by one point per building upgrade you pay for.
You unfortunately don’t get to pick which properties get new houses or hotels as you build up your Monopoly Go game board – it’s left to chance, but it seems to build relatively evenly across the board.
The more houses you have on a property, the more you’ll collect in rent from other players when you land on that tile as you roll around the board. Finally, once a colored tile is selected for upgrade as you upgrade the buildings on your current game board, but it already has four houses on it, just like in the board game, it’ll be converted to a hotel.
Once you land on a Monopoly where each property has been upgraded to a hotel, you’ll have the opportunity to spin the Color Wheel to select a bonus prize for all your hard work! This will include things like free dice rolls to replenish what you spent, the occasional sticker packs, stacks of extra cash to help revive your Monopoly Go bank account, and even vaults offering combinations of all of the above.
After you’ve landed on a color set that’s been upgraded to hotels, the hotels will be removed, and you’ll start the entire building process over again from scratch. That said, since your net worth increases by one point for each building upgrade you place, the game remembers all your hard work from before – that’s why it tracks your net worth!
What Changes As You Increase Your Net Worth?
It’s not wrong to want to be sure of investing so much money to boost your net worth before you do! In the November 2024 update, Scopely vastly overhauled the appearance of the net worth maps for each player, offering a much more clear and concise way to see exactly how much you’re worth, and what changes as you invest in your game boards.
Increasing your net worth to the levels set out for you on the net worth map will typically increase how much money you make for certain activities in the game, or it adds potential new rewards to various aspects of your game board like rent collection or utilities. It helps you bolster your defenses with more shields, provides bonus rolls, and so much more!
As you work your way up the net worth gauge in Monopoly Go, you’ll see changes like:
- The amount of rent you collect from other players on specific color tiles will increase.
- The amount of rent you collect from other players increases overall, regardless of where their token has been placed.
- The number of dice you can hold before your account stops automatically regenerating new dice every hour.
- How many dice get regenerated every hour when you dip below the number above.
- The number of shields you can hold to prevent others from shutting down your properties at any given time before your properties are without defense and can be destroyed.
- Rewards available from playing the Bank of Monopoly when it comes up on your map list.
You’ll also notice changes to how much money you’ll earn for:
- Playing the Shutdown minigame or pulling off a Bank Heist, increasing how much you earn when landing on the four Railroad tiles overall.
- When pulling Chance cards, should they be a cash payout card.
- Landing on or passing the Go space as you complete laps around the board.
- Playing your Community Chest each day, with the base payout increasing each time you land on a Community Chest tile around the board.
- Landing on Utility tiles, both Water Works and the Electric Company.
- Rolling doubles as you roll to move around the board.
Overall, the more money you spend building your Monopoly Go game boards with upgrades, the more money you’ll be worth as you continue to roll! The old business adage is that you’ve got to spend money to make money, and Mr. Monopoly is happy to give players a lesson in just that with our net worth.
Just keep in mind that the cost to upgrade your buildings also increases as you boost your net worth and move into new Monopoly Go game boards. These upgrades can become quite expensive once you’re a few hundred game boards into Monopoly Go, but you’ll be earning more money to balance out this increase in cost. It just might take a bit longer to move between new boards at higher net worth levels, but it’s all part of becoming Tycoons!
