His father Peter Rowsthorn formerly chaired of Toll Holdings: along with Paul Little, Peter Rowsthorn bought that company in 1986. As he holds nearly 10% of the company's shares, Mark Rowsthorn has an estimated net worth of over A$700 million, and Forbes magazine named him as the 36th-richest individual in Australia and New Zealand in 2006.[1] When Asciano Limited separated from Toll in June 2007, Rowsthorn became CEO and managing director of Asciano.
