To identify the wealthiest people in Australia, CEOWORLD magazine reviewed numerous national and international media reports, and all estimated net worth figures are in U.S. dollars. The actual size of their fortunes may be much larger than our figure. We have adjusted valuations of the richest 45 where there have been significant movements in the share prices of quoted companies, estimating the knock-on effect on the fortunes of owners of large stakes in those companies.
