Australia’s top 200 richest people are richer, older and more tech-focused than ever before — though, they’re still mostly familiar faces.
The AFR’s Rich List has been running since 1984, and the first list’s entrants had a combined wealth of $6.4 billion. Today, the total wealth of the list is a whopping $341.8 billion, an increase of over 5,200% in 35 years.
But Australia’s richest 200 have also managed to significantly increase their wealth in just the past 12 months, with last year’s list reporting a total wealth of $282.7 billion. This increase can be in part attributed to the list now including some wealthy families, but by and large, the rich are just getting richer.

At the top of the pile, unsurprisingly, is cardboard box mogul Anthony Pratt, who’s wealth ballooned 20% this year to $15.57 billion thanks to some friendly tax policies for his US-based Pratt Industries. Next on the list is another familiar face, mining heavyweight Gina Rinehart, with a wealth of $13.81 billion.
Property kings Harry Triguboff and Hui Wing Mau followed, with $13.54 billion and $12.77 billion respectively.
And, for the first time ever, the Atlassian founder duo did not share the same spot on the rich list, with Scott Farquhar edging ahead of his friend (and neighbour) Mike Cannon-Brookes. Farquhar squeezed ahead of Cannon-Brookes by just $0.12 billion, with his total wealth coming in at $9.75 billion, likely due to some of the investments made by his investment fund Skip Capital.

Australia ' s rich keep getting richer , with the top 1 per cent of Australians having more than double Globally, the wealthiest 1 per cent of people in the world have more than double the wealth of 6.9 billion Oxfam's annual list highlighting inequality has found the number of billionaires in Australia
The World' s Billionaires is an annual ranking by documented net worth of the wealthiest billionaires in the world, compiled and published in March annually by the American business magazine Forbes.
The Atlassian duo weren’t the only rich tech founders on the list, however, with a record 14 technology-focused founders appearing. This includes WiseTech founder Richard White at rank 20 with $3.31 billion, Afterpay founder Nick Molnar at rank 194 with $487 million, and Envato founders Cyan and Collis Ta’eed at rank 94, with a combined wealth of $974 million.
Former chief executive and founder of autonomous vehicle startup Zoox Tim Kentley-Klay also featured highly on the list, coming in at rank 86 with a wealth of $1.1 billion. Although the founder was sacked from his job last year, he still retains a 25% stake in the company.
The list has a record 91 billionaires on it, meaning nearly half of the list is now made up of the especially wealthy, and the average wealth of entrants on the list has grown 20% to $1.70 billion.

U.S. Now Requiring Visa Applicants to List Social-Media Names
The U.S. now wants to know the social-media user names of people applying for visas, part of stepped up screening of foreign visitors and immigrants. The change, first announced last year and taking effect this month, follows on a 2017 order by President Donald Trump requiring heightened vetting for visa applicants, according to a State Department official. An estimated 14 million travellers and 710,000 immigrants to the US each year will be affected by the changes, according to notes in the Federal Register.
The country fell down the ranking even after the addition of four new billionaires.

The rescued migrants, including many women and children, were taken to Malta for health checks.
