Worth is used as a preposition or a noun.


used as a preposition


If something is worth an amount of money, that is the amount you would get for it if you sold it.
His yacht is worth $1.7 million.
...a two-bedroom house worth $550,000.

Note that worth is not a verb. You do not say 'His yacht worths $1.7 million'.


used as a noun


You use worth as a noun after words like 'pounds' or 'dollars' to indicate how much money you would get for an amount of something if you sold it.
...about fifty pence worth of chocolate.
...12 million pounds worth of gold and jewels.

You do not talk about the 'worth' of something that someone owns. You do not say, for example, 'The worth of his house has greatly increased'. You say 'The value of his house has greatly increased'.
What will happen to the value of my property?
The value of the horse is now in excess of £500,000.
