He started in a Pratt factory. Now he’s a Rich List billionaire
It took patience, a passion for property and a lot of petrol-pumping for Melbourne entrepreneur Nick Andrianakos to rise to the Financial Review Rich List.
Nick Andrianakos used to drive a forklift for the Pratt family, now he has joined them as a repeat member of the Financial Review Rich List.
From humble beginnings in a Greek farming village, Andrianakos will be a newly minted billionaire on the 2022 Rich List published in AFR Magazine on Friday. His debut 2021 valuation has grown by more than 25 per cent thanks to surging valuations for a property portfolio that is a legacy of his days as one of Melbourne’s biggest service station owners.
