According to the 2015 ''BRW'' Rich 200, Pratt and his family have a net worth of 10.8 billion; the second richest in Australia.〔 Meanwhile, ''Forbes Asias list of Australia's 50 Richest People assessed Pratt's net worth in 2015 at 3.5 billion;〔 listing his sisters' wealth independently. Pratt (a manufacturing magnate himself), is the son of former manufacturing magnate and President of the Carlton Football Club Richard Pratt, who founded VISY and his wife philanthropist Jeanne Pratt . ==Background and career== Pratt was born in Melbourne, Victoria to Richard Pratt (né Przecicki) and Jeanne Pratt , Polish-Jewish immigrants. He graduated from Monash University, Melbourne, with a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) in 1982 and joined the consulting firm of McKinsey & Co, before joining Visy as Joint General Manager of Visy Board.〔 In 1988, he became Deputy Chairman of Pratt Industries. Three years later, he moved to the United States to lead the company's expansion there. Over the next 15 years, Pratt Industries grew 15-fold in sales and earnings, through greenfield initiatives and the acquisition of several corrugated manufacturing companies that now form the heart of Pratt Industries. Company revenues grew from 100 million in 1991; and by 2013 revenue was US$1.5 billion.〔 During that same period, Pratt Industries grew from the 46th largest corrugated box producer in the U.S. to the 5th largest. It is the only major paper company that is 100 percent recycled. Pratt now employs more than 4000 workers at its mills and box plants throughout USA – more Americans than any other Australian company.〔 In addition, Pratt's Visy employs 5000 people in Australia. The number of U.S. employees is set to grow in the wake of the 2013 announcement that Pratt would begin construction of a fourth, 100-percent recycled-paper mill near Chicago in 2014. Although Pratt remains Chairman of the American arm of the family’s packaging empire, he returned to Australia to take over as Executive Chairman of Visy following the 2009 death of his father, Richard. Visy's corporate reputation index ranking went from #43 to #3 between 2009 and 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Pratt (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
