Boganaire: The Rise and Fall of Nathan Tinkler

From blue collar to billionaire â€¦

Hunter Valley mine electrician Nathan Tinkler borrowed big in 2005, made a fortune from several speculative coal plays, and by 2011 was a self-made billionaire. He had gambled and won, but his volatility and reluctance to pay his debts were making him enemies. He lived the high life as only a young man would, buying luxury homes, private jets, sports cars and football teams, and splurging massively to build a horseracing empire.

But Tinklerâ€™s dreams had extended beyond even his resources, and his business model worked only in a rising market. When coal prices slumped in 2012, Tinkler had no cash flow to service his massive borrowings and no allies to help him recover. Within months he was trying desperately to stave off his creditors, large and small, and fighting to save his businesses and his fortune.

In this impressive biography, leading business writer Paddy Manning tells the story of Tinklerâ€™s meteoric rise to wealth, and captures the drama of his equally rapid downfall.

â€˜Some might see it as a handbook on how to go from broke to billionaire in a matter of years â€¦ Others might see it as a morality tale about the canker at the heart of the consumerist, aspirational politics peddled by our leaders for the past few decades.â€™ â€”Sydney Morning Herald

â€˜Paddy Manningâ€™s Boganaire: The Rise and Fall of Nathan Tinkler is a rollicking tale, which works on our sense of schadenfreude.â€™ â€”Chloe Hooper, the Monthly

â€˜Boganaire is much more than a book for readers of business literature. It provides an insight into a bigger and more important subject than Nathan Tinkler: it shows how the easy prosperity from resource riches might be changing our culture and values for the worse.â€™ â€” the Australian

â€˜The richly detailed book lays Tinklerâ€™s life bare, from his early days working in Newcastleâ€™s coal mines through to his triumphant deals with Macarthur Coal and Whitehaven, and his spectacular fall from grace.â€™ â€”BRW
