    Kerry Packer, Australias richest man, dead at 68

    Mr Packer died on Monday night at his Sydney home with his wife, Ros, son James and daughter Gretel at his bedside.

    Through his company Consolidated Press Holdings (CPH), he controlled an empire which ranged from magazines and television networks to petrochemicals, heavy engineering, ski resorts, rural properties, diamond exploration, coalmines, supermarket coupons and casinos.

    Mr Packer headed BRW magazines list of Australia's most prodigious moneymakers with a personal fortune of $6.9 billion.

        He should've been more philanthropic.

        All that money could've built so many homes and fed so many people.

                RIP

                A great man and a great Australian.

                In a past life had the opportunity to meet and socialize with the big man more than once.

                A real "blokey bloke" behind which was an amazing mind.

                May he be long remembered. And believe you me, he will be.

                                      Kerry Packer was an arrogant, dislexic gambler who inherited his wealth from his dad. The only thing he will be remembered for will be his large gambling losses. He often lost several million in a night. He then decided that he had better buy a Casino so that they could share in his terrible gambling losses.

                                      Salute to you Kerry, the world will be a better place without you.

                                                        You would think with a few billion dollars that he could've fixed his fucked up teeth...

                                                          I'd still marry her.
                                                          Unvaxxed, still alive.
