Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, who is a member of Trump's private Mar-a-Lago Club and has a net worth of around $12.3 billion, said he was granted a green card for permanent residency last month.
Pratt, who is ranked number 207 in Bloomberg's list of the 500 wealthiest people in the world, owns Australia-based paper and recycling company Visy.
He also owns Pratt Industries, a corrugated packaging company based in Conyers, Georgia.
Writing on LinkedIn, he said he had decided to make the move because all his family are US citizens, and because of his business prowess in the country.
In the LinkedIn post announcing his move, Pratt wrote: 'Over the past 30 years we have invested to build 70 factories in America, creating 12,000 well-paying American manufacturing jobs.'

Alright.

Welcome mahyte.
The last billionaire from Oz to move here didn’t turn out so good. Sorry but all immigration needs to stop for a few years imho.
I wish I could make that much money in packaging (see my username).
Welcome!

Are there economics of scale in the size of packages?

Absolutely. Some of the boxmakers’ facilities are over a football field long. I’ve also seen seafood freezing/packing facilities that are enormous.

Hey, Tony, want buy MSNBC?
Odd looking fellow ...
But he signs paychecks on the front. Lots of them, apparently. We need more of that ... more paychecks, fewer welfare checks.
Ha! Trump called him a ‘wierdo’ too....but he builds companies and employs lots of people! So I’ll easily welcome him!
