The lack of young Greek folk on the 2011 Young Rich list is obviously clear. And while Adelaide developer Ross Makris used to top the list, now at 41-years-old, he is no longer eligible as a youngster.

Topping the list is Queensland coal baron Nathan Tinkler, with a cool $1.13 billion proving that a kid obsessed with taking a risk on the share market paid off. His first $1 million punt on a coal mine returned $442 million, and the rest is history. London-based hedge-funder Greg Coffey came in second with $743 million and first-timer in the rich list Steven Kalmin third with a nice $458 million.

Sports stars Harry Kewell, Mark Webber, Mark Viduka, Lleyton Hewitt and Pat Rafter were some of the famous names on the list with pop sensation Darren Hayes, formerly of Savage Garden fame, in the list too.
