Rupert Murdoch holds more wealth than the next four people combined, with $12.6bn, up from $9.3bn in 2013.
In second place with $6.2bn is the chairman of Crown Resorts, James Packer, followed by Kerr Neilsen of Platinum Asset Management, another media mogul, Kerry Stokes, and David Teoh, executive chairman of TPG Telecom, who tipped over into the billionaire’s club in 2014 to round out the top five.
