BRW Rich 200

The BRW Rich 200 is a list of Australia's two hundred wealthiest individuals and families, ranked by personal net worth. The list was historically released annually in May or June in a special issue of the Business Review Weekly (BRW), published by Fairfax Media. The final hardcopy issue of BRW was published in November 2013, and between 2014 and March 2016, the list was published online only. Since March 2016 the BRW Rich 200 has been published in hardcopy in the AFR Magazine and published online on the Financial Review website.

The list provides a short summary on some of the known business activities of the individuals and families, together with commentary on how their ranking has changed from the previous year, if listed. In 2016, the entry mark for the 200th richest individual was A$303 million – an increase of A$17 million on the 2015 entry mark. The wealthiest individual in the 2016 list was Harry Triguboff AO, estimated to have a personal net worth of A$10.62 billion – the first year that Triguboff has headed the list. Triguboff succeeded Gina Rinehart who held the mantle between 2011 and 2015. In 2012 BRW proclaimed Rinehart as the richest woman in the world, a title that appeared to have slipped in subsequent years, according to Forbes Asia.

Seventeen individuals and/or families have made every list; including Maurice Alter, Lindsay Fox, John Gandel, Bruce Gordon, Bruno & Rino Grollo,Adam JT Reg Grundy, David Hains, Bob Ingham, John Kahlbetzer, Solomon Lew, John Longhurst, Frank Lowy, Grahame Mapp, Stan Perron, Alan Rydge, Kerry Stokes, and Harry Triguboff.
