An interesting philosophical question there…

He was just a handful of years older than IGO CEO, Peter Bradford who I believe was 62 in 2020..
Coming back to the question of wealth and what constitutes it, one of the first things that attracted me to IGO beyond the Tianqi buy in was reading in 2020 an in depth interview with him which included his values and goals (and noted he was 62 years old)
