The Forbes list of Australia's 50 richest people is a list of Australia's fifty wealthiest individuals and families, ranked by personal net worth, updated and published annually by Forbes Asia magazine. The list provides a short summary on some of the known business activities of the individuals and families, together with commentary on how their ranking has changed from the previous year, if they were listed in that prior year. The list is published annually in January in an online format and then updated daily, also online.
In 2019, the entry mark for the 50th richest individual was 750 million. The wealthiest individual in the 2019 list was Gina Rinehart, estimated to have a personal net worth of 14.8 billion; a 2.6 billion decrease in her personal net worth of 17.4 billion, as estimated by Forbes in 2018. 2019 marked the eighth time that Rinehart had headed the list.
Prior to 2013, the list included the 40 richest people in Australia; it was expanded to Australia's 50 wealthiest individuals and families in 2013.
