Kostas Drakopoulos, was placed in 32th, with a personal worth of 75 million dollars.

Kosta wasn't born into the business, nor did he invest his capital in it. He started low, from a warehouse, as a builder, and moved his way up with a lot of hard work and faith in his abilities.

The Collingwood-based property mogul and entrepreneur constructs hip apartment blocks, bespoke residences for wealthy family clients including developing projects in his own right across Essendon, Ascot Vale, Geelong, the Mornington Peninsula and Sorrento.

The second member of the Greek Diaspora, who placed 40th, was Kayla Itsines, with a 64-million-dollar.

Itsines has managed to cultivate what devoted fans call an “Army” with her lucrative Bikini Body Guide business. They will fill a venue, packed tightly like sweaty sardines, to exercise in the presence of their famous trainer.

The core of her business is a series of PDFs (and now, a sometimes-criticised app) that come complete with a 12-week workout plan and a nutrition manual.
