Forbes Australia has released its third issue, with Australia’s 50 richest people, plus Claudia Karvan, Wendy McCarthy AO, Olympic medallists Olivia Price and Nina Curtis, and leading fund manager Andrew Clifford among the highlights.
Leading the issue is the Forbes list of Australia’s 50 Richest, the definitive list of the richest people in Australia. The collective wealth of Australia’s 50 Richest on the 2023 Forbes list soared 70% to US$213 billion from $125 billion in 2019 when the list was last published.

Forbes Australia editor-in-chief, Sarah O’Carroll, said: “Australia’s 50 Richest list is more than just a simple ranking of wealth. It is a snapshot in time of the economic firepower of the country and it also highlights how the landscape is changing. We’re tracking that change.
“In this issue, you’ll find a wealth of stories about innovators and entrepreneurs, some of whom might one day join the ranks of the country’s richest 50.”
Other highlights of the new issue include Australian Formula One superstar Daniel Riccardo sitting down with Forbes Australia to discuss the third edition of his DR3 vintage in collaboration with St Hugo Wines.
The issue also features Australian actor Claudia Karvan who is about to make her first mainstage appearance in almost 25 years, after spending the past two decades working on successes such as The Secret Life of Us, Love My Way, Puberty Blues and Bump. She talks about life, happiness and what brings her joy.
Additionally, Andrew Clifford is one of Australia’s premier fund managers. The co-founder, co-chief investment officer and CEO of Platinum Asset Management, which has around $18 billion of assets under management, spoke to Forbes Australia about the opportunities and pitfalls of investing in 2023.
