}}Bruce Gordon (born 4 February 1929 in Surry Hills, New South Wales[2]) is an Australian businessman. He is the owner of the Australian television network, WIN Television through his ownership of WIN Corporation,[1] and holds a significant stake in Nine Entertainment Co.[1]

Career

Raised from humble beginning, Gordon juggled fruit to lure customers into his father's street-side fruit stall. He continued to hone his magic skills into his 20s and gained his first performance at Sydney's Tivoli circuit theatre; later progressing onto management of the theatre. During this period he got to know Rupert Murdoch, Sir Frank Packer and his sons, Kerry and Clyde, and Bruce Gyngell.[2]

In 1962, Gordon was appointed the Australasian sales executive for Desilu Productions, which was sold to Gulf and Western, which renamed the studio Paramount Television.[2] Gordon worked as a programming executive for Paramount in Hollywood for thirty years.[1]

Gordon gained control of Television Wollongong Transmission Ltd (later rebadged as WIN TV) in 1979 from Murdoch.[11] He then expanded WIN Television's operations during the 1990s, buying out the other shareholders in 1991 after buying two licences in Queensland and Crawford Productions.[2] By the end of the decade WIN had licences and transmitters in all Australian states and mainland territories.[11]

Gordon holds a 50% share in the NRL St. George Illawarra Dragons club through WIN Corporation.[1]

Personal life

Gordon lives in Bermuda with his second wife, Judith, with additional residences in Sydney and Monaco.[2]

In 2017, the Australian Financial Review assessed Gordon's net worth at {{AUD}}629 million. He is one of fifteen Australian individuals who have appeared on every Rich List, since it was first published in 1984.[1]
