WELL, this is it.

We’re counting down The Territory Rich List all this week.

And, now that we’re into the Top 10, we’re getting to the pointy end of our list!

Yesterday we counted down Numbers 12 to 10 — exclusively on the NT News’ website, ntnews.com.au

Today we reveal our next three entries — Numbers 9 to 7 (whose combined wealth is an eye-watering, estimated $3.1 billion) — exclusively here in our interactive graphic below.

Just click on each picture to read all about each of our list makers.

We will be counting down by three entries each day until our Top 3 are revealed on Friday.

The 15 wealthiest individuals and families with significant ties to the Territory — either through living, working, studying or growing up here, or through having major current or proposed investments or holdings in the NT — make up our countdown.

The Territory Rich List ranks entries by their estimated net worths and has been compiled using publicly available information.

There are some very recognisable names on the list but there are also plenty of surprises.

There are some names you may not have ever heard of, and some that you may not have realised had such strong ties to the Territory.

The first entry on our list yesterday was Gordon Martin — worth an estimated $618 miilion — owner of Coogee Chemicals, which is studying a potential half-a-billion dollar methanol project in Darwin.

Next was developer Robert Magid — worth an estimated $664 million — who has assumed sole ownership of Darwin’s proposed Chinatown development through his company TMG Developments.

And finally, there was Kerry Harmanis — worth an estimated $670 million — who grew up in Darwin, and went on to develop the massive Jubilee nickel mine in Western Australia.

The estimated total wealth figures of our latest three entries today have been sourced from The Australian newspaper’s own annual rich list, The List: Australia’s Richest 250 for 2021.

That report profiles the influential movers and shakers in Australia, according to The Australian.

Here’s how it works:

While much of the wealth accumulated by Australia’s richest people is subject to anonymity, The Australian’s list takes into account net worth calculations based on public records, including property portfolios, share prices and investments.

The final results are based on wealth figures calculated in late February 2021.

So, what do you think of the entries on the Territory Rich List today?
