A former stockbroker, Forrest, 59, who is known by his schoolboy nickname “Twiggy,” started his first mining company Anaconda Nickel (now called Minara Resources), in 1994, before establishing Fortescue Metals Group, which mines and ships iron ore to China, nine years later. Regarded as Australia’s biggest philanthropist, he made the country’s largest-ever donation in 2019, gifting A$655 million ($487 million) to a variety of causes.
