Clive Palmer is known for his outlandish statements.

Be it political conspiracies, supposed media witch hunts or the Chinese government running a smear campaign against him, Palmer is not afraid to shoot from the lip. He's even recently put billboards up in several cities adorned with the message: "Make Australia Great".

John Stensholt is a former editor of the BRW Rich 200 and Young Rich Lists.
