Editing James Packer (section)

===Net worth===
Packer first appeared on various [[net wealth|wealth lists]] in 2006, following the death of his father the previous year and the intergeneration transfer of the bulk of Kerry Packer's wealth to his son, James. James Packer's wealth was valued at A$7.25&nbsp;billion. The 2008 [[BRW Rich 200|''BRW'' Rich 200]] listed Packer as the third-richest person in Australia with a personal wealth of A$6.1&nbsp;billion, behind [[Fortescue Metals Group]] chief executive [[Andrew Forrest]] and [[Westfield Group]]'s [[Frank Lowy]]. That was the first time in 21 years that a member of the Packer family had not topped the list.<ref name="Age2008"/> According to ''BRW'', Packer's wealth dipped to an estimated A$3&nbsp;billion during 2009.<ref name="richgetpoorer"/> In its 2013 ''BRW Rich 200'' list, Packer was ranked third with his wealth estimated at A$6.0&nbsp;billion, a boost of A$1.1&nbsp;billion on the previous year. In the 2014 wealth rankings by ''BRW'', Packer's wealth was assessed at A$7.19&nbsp;billion, making him the third-richest Australian.<ref name="brw2014"/><ref name="Heathcode">{{cite news|url=http://brw.com.au/p/business/rich_get_richer_our_top_billionaires_O0X7PZ1oAhqQAKBnW8Xo1L|work=[[BRW (magazine)|Business Review Weekly]]|title=Rich 200 get richer: Our top 10 billionaires enjoy a year to remember|date=14 November 2013|first=Andrew|last=Heathcode|access-date=14 November 2013|archive-date=16 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131116004441/http://www.brw.com.au/p/business/rich_get_richer_our_top_billionaires_O0X7PZ1oAhqQAKBnW8Xo1L|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2015 ''BRW'' Rich 200, Packer's net worth was assessed at A$6.08&nbsp;billion, making him the seventh-richest Australian.<ref name="brw2015"/> Published since 2017 as the [[Financial Review Rich List|''Financial Review'' Rich List]], the successor of the ''BRW'' Rich 200, {{as of|2025|05|lc=on}} Packer's net worth was assessed at {{AUD}}4.98&nbsp;billion, making him the 30th wealthiest Australian.<ref name="afr2025"/>

In January 2009, ''[[The Daily Telegraph (Sydney)|The Sunday Telegraph]]'' reported that due to ongoing financial problems, Packer's wealth dropped to under A$3&nbsp;billion; also reporting that Packer listed for sale his Mangusta yacht and delayed the purchase of a Boeing business jet.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,,24926608-5001021,00.html |title=James Packer's shrinking funds |author1=Leys, Nick |author2=Miranda, Charles |date=18 January 2009 |work=The Sunday Telegraph}}</ref> Yet by mid-2010, it was reported that Packer owned a number of assets including ''Ellerston Z'' (a [[superyacht]]), ''Arctic P'' (a luxury cruise ship and former ice-breaker), a private jet, a 12-seater [[Sikorsky S-76]] helicopter, and a variety of cars.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/luxury/pastimes-paid-for-by-the-planet-20100614-y6xb.html |work=The Age |date=12 June 2010 |author=Hornery, Andrew |title=Pastimes paid for by the planet |access-date=10 October 2011 }}</ref> {{As of|2019|01}}, ''[[Forbes (magazine)|Forbes]]'' magazine estimated Packer's wealth at {{USD}}3.6&nbsp;billion,<ref name="Forbes2019"/> down from the {{USD}}6.60&nbsp;billion published by ''Forbes'' in their 2014 list of the richest people in Australia.<ref name="Forbes2014"/> In the 2017 ''Forbes'' list of the 50 Richest Australians, Packer's net worth was assessed at {{USD}}3.9&nbsp;billion, making him the ninth-richest Australian.<ref name="Forbes2017"/>
