About Me

The ebullient resources player and former member of the Australian Parliament, Clive Palmer became a billionaire in 2019. His fortune soared after a court ordered a flow of iron ore royalties to his company, Mineralogy, to resume. He started Mineralogy in 1984 and has built a portfolio of iron ore, thermal coal and hydrocarbon assets. He also owned Queensland Nickel, which operated a nickel-and-cobalt refinery, but the company collapsed in 2016. Palmer is engaged in litigation with several parties, including Australia's corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
