Australia’s richest person is across all the detail of the property empire he built over 53 years into a giant estimated to be worth more than $10 billion today. And at the age of 83 he has no intention of it ever being any different. Having been a member of the BRW Rich 200 for all the list’s 33 years, Triguboff, the Jewish migrant who arrived from China to finish high school in Sydney in 1948, finally reaches number one this year. His wealth is estimated at a record $10.62 billion thanks to a relentless approach to business that’s equal parts persistence, charm, ruthlessness, stubbornness and pugnaciousness.
“I’ve worked very hard and I still work very hard,” Triguboff tells The Australian Financial Review Magazine. “I like it. I enjoy it. And I think it’s very good for my health, and what’s good for my health is very important to me.”
