Biography

New Zealand's perennial richest person, Graeme Hart amassed a packaging empire using leveraged buyouts.

Hart's holdings make everyday products like milk cartons, water bottles, paper and aluminum foil.

In April 2025 he sold his 77 percent stake in publicly-listed packaging company, Pactiv Evergreen, to North Carolina-based packaging major, Novolex, for $2.5 billion.

In 2023, he took delivery of a 102-meter superyacht fitted out with a hangar, helipad and glass stairways, among much else.

About

Hart dropped out of school at age 16 and reportedly once worked as a truck driver.
