Financial Review Rich List 2020

The Financial Review Rich List 2020 is the 37th annual survey of the 200 wealthiest people resident in Australia, published by The Australian Financial Review in The Australian Financial Review Magazine on 30 October 2020.[1]

The net worth of the wealthiest individual, Gina Rinehart, was A$28.89 billion; while the net worth of the 200th wealthiest individual, Nigel Satterley, was A$540 million; up from A$472 million for the 200th individual in 2019.[2] The combined wealth of the 200 individuals was calculated as A$424 bn, an increase of A$72 bn on the previous year;[3] compared with a combined wealth of A$6.4 bn in 1984 when the BRW Rich 200 commenced.[1][3] The list included nineteen debutants, including three of Rinehart's children.[4]

Rinehart held the mantle of Australia's wealthiest individual between 2011 and 2015; peaking in 2012, when her net worth was assessed at A$29.17 bn.[5] From 2017 to 2019, Anthony Pratt was Australia's wealthiest individual, ranked third in the 2020 Rich List, after Andrew Forrest AO,[3] Australia's wealthiest individual in 2008.[6][7] Harry Triguboff AO was Australia's wealthiest individual in 2016,[8][9] ranked seventh in the 2020 Rich List.[1]
