The Financial Review Rich List 2024 represents the 41st edition of the annual compilation identifying Australia's top 200 wealthiest individuals, released by the Australian Financial Review on 30 May 2024.
At the pinnacle stands Gina Rinehart, with a net worth valued at $40.61 billion. The individual ranked 200th, Christian Beck, possesses $718 million, an increase from $690 million in 2023. Collectively, the total wealth of these 200 individuals reached $624.9 billion, marking a rise of $61.9 billion compared to the previous year. This contrasts sharply with the initial combined wealth of $6.4 billion when the BRW Rich 200 was first published in 1984. Women accounted for forty-one members on the list, representing 20.5%, a modest growth from thirty-six women (18%) in 2023. The ranking also introduced eleven newcomers.
Since 2020, Rinehart has maintained her status as Australia’s richest person, a position she also held from 2011 to 2015. Between 2017 and 2019, Anthony Pratt was the wealthiest Australian and placed fourth in the 2021 Rich List following Andrew Forrest, who topped the list in 2008, and Mike Cannon-Brookes. Harry Triguboff, who led in 2016, is positioned second in the 2024 ranking.
