The Gold Coast's high-society tier list: It's not just influencers and the nouveau riche... these sun-drenched, super-rich socialites leave Sydney and Melbourne's cliques in the shade

It may not be the classiest joint, but the Gold Coast sure has a lot of cash. And for those who who find the Sydney and Melbourne cliques a little too 'old money', the Queensland hotspot is the perfect playground for the young, rich and beautiful. Known for its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife and annual influx of rowdy Schoolies, the Goldie is home to some of the country's finest nouveau riche.

But if you scratch beneath the surface, you'll find more than just perma-tanned OnlyFans millionaires. You might even find some rather famous surnames... Our last two tier lists - you can find them here and here - were so wildly popular that we did a ring around our usual Gold Coast snitches to find out who makes the sunny city's A, B and C lists.

We know we can't please everyone, so take them with a pinch of salt and leave your suggestions in the comments below. Without further ado, here are the A-listers... If you scratch beneath the surface, you'll find more than just tanned, young millionaires on the Gold Coast. Top of the hierarchy is Bianca Rinehart (pictured), daughter of mining magnate and Australia's richest person Gina Rinehart. Bianca's personal wealth stands at $2.42billion.

THE A-LIST. Top of the hierarchy is Bianca Rinehart, the daughter of mining magnate and Australia's richest person Gina Rinehart. Her personal wealth stands at $2.42billion - an enormous amount, but still chump change compared to her mother's $34billion.
