The Financial Review Rich List, formerly known as the BRW Rich 200, is a list of Australia's two hundred wealthiest individuals and families, ranked by personal net worth published annually in The Australian Financial Review. 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.
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 Australian Financial Review Magazine or (AFR Magazine), and published online on the Financial Review website.
In 2017, the entry mark for the 200th richest individual was A$342 million – an increase of A$39 million on the 2016 entry mark. The wealthiest individual in the 2017 list was Anthony Pratt and family, estimated to have a personal net worth of A$12.6 billion – the second time that Pratt had headed the list; the first time being in 2009, four weeks after the death of his father, Richard Pratt, when Anthony Pratt's wealth was estimated at A$4.3 billion. Pratt succeeded Harry Triguboff, when it was estimated he had a personal net worth of A$10.62 billion in 2016.Gina Rinehart 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.
Fifteen individuals and/or families have made every list; including Maurice Alter, Lindsay Fox, John Gandel, Bruce Gordon, Bruno & Rino Grollo, David Hains, John Kahlbetzer, Solomon Lew, Frank Lowy, Grahame Mapp, Stan Perron, Alan Rydge, Kerry Stokes, and Harry Triguboff.
