Bean Counters,
Poor, poor Pup.
The Great Man has failed to make this year's AFR Young Rich List https://www.afr.com/leadership/afr-lists/young-rich/atlassian-cofounders-lead-young-rich-list-2018-20180918-h15jji
Weep my friends, Clarkey didn't even come close. $26 million [the net worth of one of the co-founders of Pedestrian TV of all things https://www.pedestrian.tv/] is the cut off point for 100th in the top 100 richest bastards in the country under 40.
At last report, MJ Clarke's net worth was only $16 million and falling, what with the real estate market going Antarctic, and Pup now consigned to being an unpopular unemployed former cricket 'celebrity' who is not asked for his opinion on anything anymore, you'd expect any sponsorships he still has will dry up over the coming year and he'll be lucky to have two bob to rub together in another 12 months.
To add insult to injury, complete & utter wally's in the form of Shane FIGJAM Watto Watson and Mitchell Joke Johnno Johnson are both richer than Pup, while other former Strayan skippers in Mr Ponting [$65M] and Mr Waugh [$27M] are now old men on another obscenely wealthy planet entirely.
In a list containing an astonishing number of millenial shonks and shysters [e.g.: tech wack-jobs, dodgy beauty products, and useless snake oil merchants aside, who would have thought there's a fortune to be made in leasing cars to Uber drivers?], My Mate Smiffy has done alright, despite suffering in disgrace after being sent shame-faced to Purgatory due to all that fuckery with a cricket ball on The Veldt.
While SPD Smith may have dropped between 5 and 10 mill on a few sheets of low grade South African sandpaper, the best batsman on the planet is still worth $27 million. DA Warner may well have squeezed onto the list also, if not for Tamper Gate, but still has a dilly bag with 17 mill in it.
However, both of them are very heavily exposed to Sydney real estate [and as everyone knows, anyone can do that standing on their heads] with at least half a doz negatively geared gaffs each, although Smiffy has taken a 10% share in "on-line furniture company Koala" https://www.koalaliving.com.au/ as a spot of speculative insurance.
It'll be interesting to see where Smiffy and 'Burbs square up after doing their time in exile.
But at 37, Pup can only stare at the slippery slope in hope.
