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.

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.
