Australian mining billionaire Gina Rinehart tops Western Australia's 2026 Rich 100 with A$37.5 billion, as the number of billionaires in the state rises to 20.
Nicola Forrest, ex-wife of Fortescue founder Andrew Forrest, has given A$520 million in cash and shares to her Coaxial Foundation, one of Australia’s largest gifts.
Andrew Forrest's Fortescue has bought Penske Autosport's Formula E operation and will race as Fortescue Zero Racing in partnership with Jaguar.
Fortescue says it will ship African iron ore by 2030 as Gabon launches an audit that could reshape major mining deals.
In Gabon, Andrew Forrest shipped iron ore within a year. Elsewhere across Africa, his green dreams remain stuck in the waiting room.
Recent agreement could make Forrest richer and unlock gains for Kenya.
Forrest has a net worth of $16.7 billion.
Forrest has held talks with the DRC to acquire the exclusive rights to develop the Grand Inga Dam.
