$6951 in the bank and some furniture: What was left in John Elliott’s will

He was a larger than life Melbourne identity who made his name as a high-flyer in 1980s corporate Australia, but when John Elliott died he had only $6951 in an ANZ bank account and some furniture to his name. Elliott died in 2021, aged 79, after a business career full of ups and downs in which he amassed an estimated fortune of $78 million and a place on the BRW Rich List before losing it all when he declared bankruptcy in 2005.
