The Financial Review Rich List 2023 marks the 40th edition of the annual ranking of Australia's 200 wealthiest individuals, released by the Australian Financial Review on 26 May 2023.
Topping the list once again was Gina Rinehart, with a net worth of $37.41 billion. At the other end, the 200th position was held by Bob Rose and his family, whose wealth increased to $690 million from $640 million in 2022. Collectively, the fortunes of these 200 individuals amounted to $563 billion, reflecting a $9 billion rise compared to the previous year and a significant jump from $6.4 billion when the list was first compiled in 1984. In 2023, women accounted for thirty-six members (18%) of the list, slightly down from thirty-nine (19.5%) in 2021. The ranking also featured six newcomers.
Rinehart previously held the title of Australia's richest person from 2011 to 2015 and reclaimed it in 2020. Between 2017 and 2019, Anthony Pratt led the rankings and was positioned fourth in 2021 behind Andrew Forrest, who topped the list in 2008, and Mike Cannon-Brookes. Harry Triguboff was number one in 2016 and placed fourth in the 2023 list.
