(Reuters) - The combined wealth of Australia's 50 richest people has climbed nearly 10% to A$243 billion ($152.92 billion) in the past 12 months, Forbes said on Thursday, with mining magnate Gina Rinehart topping the list again.
Forbes said technology executives capitalised on the sector's continued growth, while mining fortunes were bumpier in the last year due to falling commodity prices and rising costs.
