John Kahlbetzer, from oil rigs to the Rich List, dies
Businessman John Kahlbetzer retained his competitive spirit and was still fit enough to play tennis just months before his death at the age of 92, according to his family.
John Kahlbetzer died in Sydney on October 27, a little over a year after selling out of agriculture in Argentina and returning to Australia, where he made his name in farming after earlier ventures selling tyres, in steel trading and as a corporate raider.
A previous version of this article incorrectly identified the kidnapping happening in Argentina; it was in Australia.
