Macquarie Bank

They call the Macquarie bank the millionaire factory. Not hard to see why with this very impressive list of assets:

National Assets

* 43 aged care facilities
* 118 industrial properties
* 6 marinas
* 85 commercial radio licences
* 23 office buildings
* 5 major tollroads
* Dreamworld
* 47 ten pin bowling centres
* 80 supermarkets and other retail properties
* Sydney Airport
* 3 energy distributors

And you can add to that list MacBank's international assets:

* 6 airports
* 28 tollroads
* 14 energy utilities
* 2 ports
* 4 media/communications assets
* 17 office buildings
* 241 retail shopping properties
* 4 transport assets
* 178 industrial properties


Think of something that makes money. A supermarket. A local radio station. An airport. Odds are Macquarie has a stake in it. They even recently tried to make a hostile bid for the London Stock Exchange. The poms told the cheeky Aussie bank to get stuffed. Don't worry. We'll get 'em.
