The bar to make it onto The List – Australia’s Richest 250 has reached an all-time high, with a record cut-off of $635 million required to secure a spot among the nation’s wealthiest individuals, according to theaustralian.com.au
Former Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan, now leading the fast-growing e-commerce software company Rokt from New York, just made the cut at number 250 with a $635 million fortune.
With the threshold rising from $590 million in 2024, many successful Australian entrepreneurs narrowly missed inclusion this year—including Paul & Theo Kristoris ($460 million).
The Adelaide-based father and son, who own Leader Computers, saw their business generate $648 million in revenue last year. Founded in 1997 by Theo, Leader Computers has grown into a major manufacturer and distributor of computers and IT equipment.
