Welcome to the 2024 edition of The List – Australia’s Richest 250.

Wealth has a younger face this year with The List now including 20 people aged 40 or younger and the number of billionaires climbs to 159.

There’s still plenty of room for experience though, with more of the Richest 250 making their fortunes in one sector than any other – property.

That’s just some of the revealing insights from the biggest annual study of Australia’s wealthiest and most successful people, who this year are worth a collective $591.31bn.

Enjoy the read.
