Iron ore queen Gina Rinehart has topped the Financial Review Rich List for the sixth consecutive year, despite a 6 per cent drop in her $38.1 billion fortune, triggered by lower iron ore prices.
The soft commodity price also knocked billions off the fortunes of fellow top-10 members Clive Palmer (ranked fifth with $20.1 billion) and Nicola Forrest (ranked ninth with $12.8 billion), resulting in the collective wealth of the 10 wealthiest Australians falling 9.2 per cent to $202 billion.
