The former electrician is a shining example of the resources sector boom – and bust. In 2006 he borrowed $500,000 to buy a small mine in Central Queensland. By the start of this year the 36-year-old had parlayed that into an incredible $1 billion fortune and a spot on the rich list.

Tinkler's double-down strategy didn't work when resource prices tumbled, leaving him dangerously exposed and reportedly heavily in debt. His helicopter and jet have now been repossessed. The tax office is circling his beloved Newcastle Knights.
