The latest AFR Rich List reveals just how quickly wealth has grown in Australia — with the cutoff for the top 200 now sitting above $800 million.

Michael Thompson and Sean Aylmer unpack what the list says about the Australian economy, why property remains the most reliable path to enormous wealth, and how the nature of billionaires has evolved over time. Sean also reflects on his years helping compile the original BRW Rich List — including the awkward calls to billionaires checking whether their wealth estimates were right.
