Is it an acceptable practice to include your personal estimates (example valuations) in a resume?

Say I'm working for a new startup company. Can I go ahead and claim the start up's is valued is 500,000$ on my resume?

I'm just making making an educated guess by adding up all the fixed assets and factoring some trademarks and royalties.

Thanks

What's your role? Are you a founder? Have you put in the work to get it to that value?

If I'm a janitor/analyst/intern at GS, it really doesn't matter that the firm holds $850B in assets.

Also, I hope you're proofing your resume, because you have some grammar errors, duplicates, and the dollar sign is on the wrong side of the value, which is kind of important in finance. :P
