Nathan Tinkler (born 1 February 1976) is a former mining magnate and businessman from the Hunter Region, New South Wales, Australia. He started out as a mining apprentice in the Hunter Valley, in New South Wales and set up his own business at age 26. Much of his wealth, most subsequently lost, was acquired from investments in the mining industry. ==Biography== Born in Port Macquarie, New South Wales on 1 February 1976,〔(Ben Hills, Boom and bust, Sydney Morning Herald, 15 September 2012 ). Retrieved 28 February 2014〕 Tinkler qualified as an electrician at Muswellbrook TAFE. He worked as an apprentice at BHP's Bayswater open-cut mine for a time until he was either fired or given a redundancy package. He was allegedly often in debt during his time at the mine and refused to pay or abused his creditors.〔Hooper, Chloe (February 2014) Walking with Dinosaurs, ''The Monthly'' pp 30〕 At the age of 26 he started his own mine machinery maintenance business. His rise began in 2006 when he borrowed to buy the Middlemount coal mine in Central Queensland for A$11.5 million. In December 2007 he agreed to sell 70% of Middlemount to Macarthur Coal for A$57 million in cash plus a parcel of Macarthur shares valued at A$184 million. Then Macarthur became a takeover target and its share price doubled. In May 2008 Tinkler sold his Macarthur shares for A$422 million. By 2008 he was on the ''BRW Young Rich list'', quoted as being worth about A$441 million, and the second-richest man in Australia under 40 years of age.
