The Financial Review Rich List 2018 is the 35th annual survey of the wealthiest people resident in Australia, published by The Australian Financial Review on 25 May 2018.[1]
The net worth of the wealthiest individual, Anthony Pratt, was A$12.90 billion; while the net worth of the 200th wealthiest individual, Radek Sali, was A$387 million; up from $341 million in 2017.[2] The combined wealth of the 200 individuals was calculated as A$282.7 billion;[1] compared with a combined wealth of A$6.4 billion in 1984 when the BRW Rich 200 commenced.[3] Nineteen women were included on the 2018 Rich List, representing 8.5 percent of the list.[2] The average age was 66 years. The list included a record 76 individuals whose net worth was one billion or more, an increase of 16 from 2017; and about one-quarter of those billionaires lived offshore at the time of the list's publication.[1]
