Angela Bennett
Owner / AMB Holdings
Angela Bennett is one of Australia’s wealthiest individuals while also being one of the most reclusive.
She is the owner of family company AMB Holdings, which has a 50 per cent stake in Wright Prospecting. That entitles her family to a lucrative flow of iron ore royalties, stemming from deals negotiated by her late father Peter Wright. Over the decade to June 2021, Wright Prospecting has paid out $1.72 billion in dividends, with half of that going to AMB.
Mrs Bennett famously sold her Mosman Park house for $57.5 million in 2009, the biggest residential sale in Australian history at the time.
