Question:    Networth formula
Answer:     This formula shows you how your networth is made up:
1100 + (3*Fighters) + (5*Bombers) + Soldiers + (6*Transports) + Droids + Wizards + Agents + (pop/40) + (Buildings*4) + (Planets*800) + (RP/1000)
List of Networths
Fighters = 3 nw    Bombers = 5 nw
Soldiers = 1 nw    Droids = 1 nw
Wizards = 1 nw    Agents = 1 nw
Transports = 6 nw    Buildings = 4 nw
Population = 0.025 nw    RP = 0.001 nw
Planets = 800 nw

Vague noob question, or trolling...

right
with all the respect, this is the questions forum
someone is trying to get answers to his questions.

so far in this thread there are 7 absolute bullshit answers and 4 somewhat useful ones.
if you want to joke about and think you're funny, go to the general forum, if you want to help people, stay here.
it is no wonder people don't continue playing if they have to sit through so much bullshit when trying to get some help playing the game.

Serious answer:

Work with your family. Building more infrastructure means you have more income/resources to keep building more. But the best way to build more is to get more planets, which is where an attacker comes in (as well as working with the family)...sometimes it is not great to boost your NW exponentially (if you are attacking for example).

But to be more specific, we need to know more information:

What race, or role are you playing? What period of the round is it? Is it a normal gal or HC? What sort of position are you in (ie. how many planets, what % OB, what is the available resources, what is the market like)? There is no real answer to this question, because each situation will be different...if you are after something more specific (ie. what to build at the start of the Round) then I would suggest reading through some of the threads in Stratergy...

Actually, there is only 1 thing that can cause your networth to grow exponentially. That's Research Centers. Gaining more points every tick affects your networth. Infra, or fleet, have to be continuously built to keep growing.
