Australia’s Richest 2019
View(s):The extravagant miner Clive Palmer is back in force. With assets estimated at $ 1.8 billion, he returns to the 20 richest countries in Australia for the first time since 2014, setting up 20. He also makes his debut as a billionaire thanks to payments from license ordered by Judge CITIC Pacific Minings Project STIC Iron Project in Western Australia.
The baron of coal, Chris Wallin, also returns to the list n. 41, resistant to the tendency of most mines to fall. While Gina Rinehart remains the richest person in the country, her estimated net worth rose from $ 1.8 billion, or 10.8%, to $ 14.8 billion, thanks to iron fluctuations. Similarly, their four children, led by their eldest daughter Bianca Rinehart, lost $ 1.9 billion, or 38% of their total estimated assets, the largest decline in both dollars and percentages. That brought her from 5th to 11th place.
In total, 22 assets declined, in part due to the 8.7% decline of the Australian dollar against the dollar after the last list of the richest empires in Australia in November 2017. Of the 23 assets up, l The largest gain (in dollars and percentages) was recorded by Atlassian founders Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, who rose $ 3 billion, or 88.2%. Her fortune of $ 6.4 billion puts her in fifth place, five places are higher. Another Australian technology billionaire, Richard White, founder of Global WiseTech, climbed 16 seats to seventeenth place, an increase of $ 950 million, or 76%, to $ 2.2 billion.
Technical kings are three of the 35 single billionaires, one less than our last list. Only six women are multimillionaires, seven in total on the complete list, as well as in November 2017.
This year, only one new addition has been added to the list: financial service providers such as Michael Heine, co-founder of the Net wealth investment platform. Since November 2017, the price of Netwealth shares has more than doubled. Heine is ranked 50th on the list and his assets are estimated at $ 750 million. Computershare founder Chris Morris turns 49 for $ 760 million, the last time he lost $ 700 million.
Four are off the list, including real estate billionaire Stanley Perron, who died in November, leaving most of his $ 2.3 billion in assets to the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation. Flight Center founder Graham Turner, real estate developer Tim Roberts and Chris Thomas, founder of Thomas Foods, Adelaide’s meat processor, fell below $ 750 million.
