About Me
Armed with a geology degree, Chris Wallin was the Queensland government's chief coal geologist before starting his company, QCoal, in 1989. He was a billionaire in 2011 and 2012, before plunging coal prices hammered his fortune. He reappeared on the list of Australia's 50 richest in 2019 after a five-year absence. He rejoined the billionaire ranks after QCoal posted a five-fold increase in net profit in 2022 and paid him A$300 million in dividends. In 2025, QGold launched a takeover bid for shares it did not own in Venus Metals Corp for A$0.21 per share, ending up with a nearly 32% stake after the bid closed in January 2026.
