NBR's 2025 rich list sees the total valuation pushed to $102.1 billion
The collective worth of the 119 individuals and families profiled is the equivalent of more than 40 percent of the nation's GDP
There are around a dozen new Rich Listers, worth $4.3 billion altogether
Two women, Anna Mowbray and Lucy Liu, have made the list for the first time since 2019
The National Business Review annual rich list has found Aotearoa's wealthiest people are collectively worth more than $100 billion - up from $95.55 billion last year - despite a tough 12 months financially.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tovgoxltmjvco6mu7tyhlgmk/bafkreicvneg5alstk72ag5vwomndwnvjosjdpxhrmtwpqtk5zgcznmfdku@jpeg)

Really enjoying watching the Jacinda Ardern press tour and seeing the bots and cookers rant and rave. Meanwhile she's at wrapping up at Harvard, speaking with Oprah and Colbert, and is just getting on with it. It's really nice to see a friendly, compassionate face thriving.

As we approach the anniversary of March 15 it is important to remember that one of the things to come out of that was that lawmakers came together and banned high powered semiautomatic weapons. Only the ACT Party voted against it.

Listening to this AM’s Nine to Noon feature on outsourcing elective surgery to private providers and the ASMS rep pointed out that every equivalent surgery in the private sector is more expensive than public - every single one - and it just sort of sat there, unremarked upon for rest of the segment.
