Coal baron tops young rich list<\/a>

Queensland coal baron Nathan Tinkler, 32, has unseated Sydney property developer Shaun Bonett for the No. 1 spot on the list of richest Australians under the age of 40.<\/p>\n

Mr Tinkler’s $441 million fortune, earned in two years of investing in mines<\/a>, has catapulted him to the top of 100 young names, according to BRW<\/em> magazine. He has poured substantial sums of his earnings into horse racing.<\/p>\n

Mr Bonett, 37, ranked number six on the BRW<\/em> Young Rich list this year, increased his real estate fortune to $340 million from $300 million last year.<\/p>\n

Three of the five richest young people are hedge fund managers, just as global investment markets peaked over the year. London-based Hilton Nathanson, 38, debuts at No. 2 on $385 million, followed by brothers Angus, 38, and Richard Grinham, 40, worth a combined $368 million…<\/p>\n

The party for the young and wealthy continued… with the total value of the list members’ holdings climbing 25% this year, to $6.3 billion from $4.8 billion in large part because of investment gains made at the top.<\/p>\n

The increase means the average BRW<\/em> Young Rich member was worth $72.7 million, up from $60 million…<\/p>\n

Entertainer Kylie Minogue is among the best-known women on the list, at number 23 worth $84 million. Actress Cate Blanchett ranked #41, with $48 million.<\/p>\n

Overall, the number of women fell to 14 from 18 last year…<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are feral, low-life people that want society to be in a state of near anarchy for their own private profit,” remarked SA Deputy Premier Kevin Foley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s not mince words here. People who say they are ‘developers’ but rely on state violence and environmental destruction to accumulate their wealth are clearly a bunch of people who are dangerous to society.<\/p>\n

“These are just capitalists that enjoy disrupting civil society. They do not have one fig of credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
