Issue 09 of Forbes Australia is out now - and it serves up a wealth of knowledge starting with the just-released Australia’s 50 Richest List 2024. The old guard across mining, resources, and property still lead the top 10, however the tech players are growing in number and wealth fast. The list is a benchmark of the Australian economic landscape in 2024 – see the full list in Issue 09 plus a deep dive on one of the little-known players – number 25 on the list and the third founder of tech darling CANVA—our cover star – Cameron Adams. This issue we also talk to Kayla Itsines, co-founder of one of the world’s largest fitness apps, SWEAT, who has just landed back in the driver’s seat of the business she sold in 2021 with former partner and co-founder Tobi Pearce. In finance and investing, we explore ‘The dogs of the DOW’ - an investing strategy focused on buying the highest-yielding stocks among a select group of blue chips – and why the dogs look ready to run. We talk to Hedge fund GOAT Ken Griffin and look under the hood of a career that has seen USD$74 billion in gains… And NFTs are making a comeback? Find out why corporate America is loving the new NFT.
