Mineral Resources founder Chris Ellisonhas been known to fly a helicopter to work.
He lives in a palatial riverfront compound on the Swan River that when purchased for $60 million in 2009 broke Australian property records. He’s ridden out headlines in Los Angeles and the south of France. And last year he spent somewhere near $165,000 to host the prime minister for dinner (which he ended up doing in September this year).
