‘That bugger’s nearly 90’: Gerry Harvey, inspired by Murdoch, plans to retire at 100 – Sydney Morning Herald
Harvey Norman founder Gerry Harvey has said he hopes to follow in the footsteps of 89-year-old News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch.
“If there’s a lesson there for people, it’s that you don’t have to retire at 60, you can still be a useful member of the community at 80 or 90.”
Mr Harvey’s comments came after Harvey Norman’s annual general meeting on Wednesday where it revealed a 160 per cent jump in profit before tax for the first quarter of the financial year of $341.1 million.
