Richard Pratt (Australian businessman)
Richard J. Pratt (born Ryszard Przecicki; 10 December 193428 April 2009〔) was a prominent Australian businessman, chairman of the privately owned company Visy Industries, and a leading figure of Melbourne society. In the year before his death Pratt was Australia's fourth-richest person, with a personal fortune valued at billion.
==Early life==
Pratt was born in the Free City of Danzig (modern Gdańsk), Poland of Polish Jewish parents on 10 December 1934.〔 His family immigrated to Australia in 1938 and settled in Shepparton, Victoria, changing their surname from Przecicki to Pratt. Pratt was educated at Grahamvale Primary School, Shepparton High School and University High School and enrolled in a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Melbourne in 1953. He also played Australian rules football, as a ruckman. After starting his career at Lemnos (now the Shepparton Swans), Pratt played for Carlton in the Victorian Football League's (VFL) under-19s competition. He was awarded the Morrish Medal in 1953 for being deemed the "best and fairest" U-19 player that year. Pratt did not continue his footballing career to senior VFL level, instead focusing on other interests.
Pratt combined study with acting with the Union Theatre Repertory Company and working as salesman for the family business, Visy Board. After touring London and New York in 1957 with a production of Ray Lawler's ''Summer of the Seventeenth Doll'', playing the role of Johnnie Dowd, he returned to Melbourne and Visy. Following the death of his father Leon in February 1969 Pratt took over his father's business, which at that time had several hundred employees and an annual turnover of A$5 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Visy )〕
