Six new billionaires among 10 Rich List debuts this year
Among the 10 new faces on this year’s Rich List is the highest-ranked self-made debutant in its history, who quietly amassed so much wealth he debuts at No. 7.
Rich List debutants Robert Chamberlain, Michael Dorrell, David Young and Shane Young.
A fund manager who made a splash in New York, two brothers behind a well-known pet shop, and the family running a major steel group are among 10 new faces on this year’s Financial Review 2025 Rich List.
The debutants made the cut despite requiring a minimum of $747 million – the highest threshold in the history of the Rich List, which has tracked Australia’s richest 200 people for more than 40 years. Of those 10 new faces, six have enough wealth to be counted among the 161 billionaires on this year’s list – out in full this Friday.
