Harry Triguboff Net Worth: Harry Triguboff is an Australian property developer with a net worth of $6 billion. Mr Triguboff, known colloquially as “Senior Harry”, is the Managing Director and Chairman of Meriton Apartments Pty Ltd. Born in China, Harry was educated at the Scottish College in Sydney, and then at the University of Leeds, UK, where he obtained a degree in textiles.
However, when he returned to Australia in 1960, his education didn’t help him much, so he took several odd jobs, including driving a taxi and owning a dairy in Chatswood. He rose to fame when he built an eight-unit block in Tempe on Smith Street in 1963, and then another 18 units on Meriton Street in 1968. The latter apartment building provided the name of the company “Meriton Apartments” with which he was registered. Since 1968, Triguboff’s company has grown into Australia’s largest home builder, building 60,000 dwellings, mainly townhouses and apartments . One of the firm’s most famous projects was the construction of Sydney’s tallest residential apartment building, World Tower (2001-2004). As of May 2011, Business Review Weekly estimated Triguboff’s net worth at A$4.3 billion, making him Australia’s seventh-richest person. In addition, he is the first person to win the Australian Property Personality of the Year award twice (once in 2003 and once in 2009). As for his personal life, he was married twice, the first with two daughters. He is still with his second wife, who currently live in Sydney.
