“Our friendship and commitment to our family remains strong,” they mentioned within the assertion.
“There is no impact on the operations, control or direction of Fortescue, Minderoo or Tattarang.
“We will continue our shared mission to create and gift our wealth to tackle community and global challenges, as recently shown by last months’ donation of one-fifth of our Fortescue shareholding to Minderoo Foundation.”
Mr and Mrs Forrest are touted as the second wealthiest people in Australia behind mining giant Gina Rinehart.
Their $32bn fortune began with iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group which the pair founded in 2003. They now hold a 36 per cent stake in the company.
They have committed to donate more than half of their fortune during their lifetime, following the Giving Pledge campaign started by Melinda and Bill Gates.
They have three grownup youngsters.
