Australia’s 2026 Rich List shows the nation’s 200 wealthiest fortunes have surged by $39 billion to a combined $707 billion, with mining magnate Gina Rinehart remaining atop the list for a seventh year at $39 billion. Property developer Harry Triguboff follows at $32.3 billion, Visy’s Anthony Pratt family at $25.2 billion, and former Glencore chief Ivan Glasenberg at $22.4 billion. While mining, property and technology continue to dominate, new fortunes have emerged in waste‑management, AI and data‑centre ventures. Some tech figures fell sharply—Mike Cannon‑Brookes and Scott Farquhar saw their net worths halve—while marital splits reshuffled rankings, with former wife Nicola Forrest overtaking ex‑husband Andrew Forrest. The list also highlights regional distribution, with the majority of rich listers based in New South Wales and Victoria.
