Eamon Cleary, a property developer, became New Zealand's third wealthiest person, with a net worth of $2 billion. Originally from County Monaghan, in Ireland, Mr. Cleary was third on the New Zealand rich list, behind Graeme Hart ($6 billion) and the Todd Family ($2.7 billion).
Record high dairy prices and land values have rapidly boosted Mr. Cleary's wealth from the $280 million he had amassed by 2006. The Irishman built his fortune converting cheap farmland into profitable dairy farm operations. He eventually lived in Malta.
