Brisbane's Millionaires: Where Do They Live and How Much Do They Earn?

Brisbane's Income Divide: A Look at the Top 1% Brisbane, Australia – June 3, 2025 – Recent data analysis reveals a stark income disparity across Brisbane's suburbs. The top 1% of earners in Hawthorne, a suburb in Brisbane's inner east, boasts an average annual income of $2.54 million, dwarfing the city's average of $71,772. In contrast, the top 1% in Pullenvale average $2.58 million, compared to that suburb's average of $123,000. "These figures show a significant gap," says a Brisbane Times reporter. "While neurosurgeons are typically among the highest earners, much of the top 1%'s income comes from high business profits." The data, sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and analyzed by the Brisbane Times, offers a glimpse into the city's economic landscape and raises questions about income inequality.
