Frank Lowy is Australia's second richest man. As he has grown wealthy over the past forty years, so thousands of Australian's have grown wealthy with him. An investment of $1000 in Westfield shares when the company went public in 1960 would today be worth $86.7 million (assuming all dividends and benefits were re invested in Westfield shares). This performance is unrivaled in Australia and outstrips the growth offered by internationally renowned investment figures such as George Soros and Warren Buffett.
