It seems three men with links to Northland are even richer than they were this time last year.
The recently released National Business Review's Rich List features a largely unchanged top 10 of New Zealand's wealthiest people - worth a combined $24 billion.
Graeme Hart remains the richest man in New Zealand, but his wealth took a $2 billion hit this year and fell from $9 billion in 2015 to $7 billion this year.
Kaitaia-raised property investor Peter Cooper is the richest of the three Northlanders listed, with wealth of $780 million - up from $740 million last year.
He has long-term property development and investment interests in the Bay of Islands, Auckland, and Texas after a career in law which proved useful when he and his friend Chris Mace formed Mace Development Corporation.
