The Australian’s The List brings you the country’s richest people – now available as NFTs
The technology revolution has arrived, changing the face of the ranks of Australia’s wealthiest individuals. A unique collection of NFTs celebrates their success.
The technology revolution has well and truly impacted The List – Australia’s Richest 250, the biggest annual survey of the country’s wealthiest individuals.
It has heralded a shift from “old” industries such as mining and manufacturing to newer online sectors, bringing significant change to the ranks of the country’s wealthy elite.
In recognition of this changing of the guard, and to help support some of the everyday Australians affected by the recent floods, The Australian is releasing a collection of non-fungible token (NFT) artworks to help raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Flood Appeal.
The artworks are of the top 20 richest Australians, from Gina Rinehart to trucking magnate Lindsay Fox and billionaires such as Canva co-founder Melanie Perkins in between.
There will also be NFTs of five of the new young guns on The List, including Culture Kings co-founder Tahnee Beard – who is one of 29 new names this year.
Just as the richest Australians have revolutionised the industries where they made their fortunes, NFT’s are at the vanguard of a new way of purchasing and collecting art.
“Most of the top 250 wealthiest Australians are collectors, whether it be of art, supercars or spectacular property.
We hope that our NFT artworks of the top 20 Richest 250 on The List become collectable in themselves,” says Christopher Dore, editor-in chief of The Australian.
Our NFT’s are tokens attached to digital artworks created by illustrator Rebel Challenger, a graphic designer and illustrator from Brisbane with a long career in newspapers as a graphic designer and art director.
The auctions will be conducted on OpenSea, in the cryptocurrency Ether (ETH). To bid on the artworks you will need a crypto wallet.
You will find the NFTs on the OpenSea marketplace in the Collectibles category. Search:
