Yolanda Redrup

Key Points

  • The collective fortune of the top 10 richest young Australians is $28.9 billion.
  • Three Airwallex co-founders make the top 10.
  • Immutable’s James and Robbie Ferguson have cracked the top five.
  • There are 17 debutants on 2024’s Young Rich List.

Canva co-founders Melanie Perkins and Cliff Obrecht have topped the Financial Review Young Rich List for the fifth year in a row, their fortune surging by $1 billion in a year thanks to its continued growth.

The 7.7 per cent boost to their combined fortune gives the couple an estimated net worth of $14 billion. Most of this, they say, is destined for charitable purposes rather than their own pockets, with the pair having signed onto Bill Gates’ The Giving Pledge.
