Gina Rinehart's fortune is $7bn smaller but still top of BRW rich 200 Mining magnate Gina Rinehart saw her wealth fall by $7 billon over the past year but she still tops the BRW Rich List. GINA Rinehart's fortune may have fallen to $22.02 billion on the back of the resources downturn but she still topped BRW's Rich 200 list, as other miners dropped down the annual tally of Australian fortunes and media and property moguls enjoyed a resurgence. To mark the list's 30th anniversary, BRW has named media mogul Kerry Stokes the greatest Australian entrepreneur, a feat highlighted by the fact he has been in every rich list since it started in 1984, one of only 19 business people to do so. In 1984 Mr Stokes" personal wealth was estimated at $30 million. Today, he has a business empire worth an estimated $2.47 billion and the title of Australia's 12th richest person. The 2013list illustrated the impact of the resources downturn, with the nation's top mining identities suffering a hit to their estimated wealth. Nathan Tinkler, who once topped the Young Rich List and featured in the 200 list, has this year seen his fortune fall below the $235m cut-off for inclusion. All of the five biggest falls on the 2013 BRW Rich 200, on both dollar value and proportional bases, are from the mining sector. "It's been a tough year for the miners, with falling commodity prices and concerns about the Chinese economy weighing heavily," Rich 200 editor Andrew Heathcote said. Fortescue Metals Group's founder and chairman Andrew Forrest was calculated to have lost about $2.23bn of his worth, taking it to $3.66bn and giving him the ninth spot on the list. Clive Palmer has an estimated fortune of $2.2bn, down from $3.85bn last year. Mrs Rinehart also suffered a drop in her wealth to $22.02bn from $29.17bn last year, but she still retained the top spot regardless by a substantially margin. Mr Heathcote said strong equity markets had allowed some of the best-known members of the list to boost their fortunes and regain some ground on the miners. Retail magnate Frank Lowy, who has previously held the top spot, moved from third last year to second on the 2013 list after gaining about $400m to $6.87bn. James Packer's gaming ventures continued to pay off, increasing his wealth to $6bn, from $5.21bn, to take out the number three spot on the list. Chinese-based property developer Hui Wing Mau debuted on the list this year in the seventh spot with a $4.82bn fortune. Mr Mau is chairman of the Hong Kong-listed Shimao Group. The top five list included packaging billionaire Anthony Pratt in number four. Last year's number two, Glencore Xstrata chief executive, Ivan Glasenberg, fell to fifth spot after his wealth was hit by the commodity downturn.
