Leonard Walter Buckeridge (15 June 1936 – 11 March 2014[1] ) was an Australian businessman known for founding the Buckeridge Group of Companies .[2] [3] [4]
Early life [ edit ]
Buckeridge attended Perth Modern School then trained as an architect at Perth Technical College .[2] [5] [6] In his final year of studies Buckeridge won the James Hardie Prize for his thesis "The Economical House".[citation needed ]
Buckeridge built high-rise buildings in Perth and elsewhere through his company, Buckeridge Group of Companies. He also owned James Point Pty Ltd.[2] [3]
In September 2012, Buckeridge sued a former fork-lift driver who allegedly posted defamatory comments on Facebook about him. The former employee was backed by United Voice .[4]
In November 2012, he sued the Government of Western Australia for A$ 1 billion regarding a delay in construction on Cockburn Sound .[3] [7] Premier Colin Barnett counselled him to drop the lawsuit.[8] Buckeridge also sued about a delay in the construction of the Perth Arena .[9] [10]

Buckeridge married Judith Lyon, and they had five children Lise, Rachel, Andrew, Sam, Joshua. His de facto partner for forty years was Sick Puay Koh, also known as Tootsie Ambrose,[11] mother of Julian.[12] [2] [13]
He lived in the Perth suburb of Mosman Park .[2] [4] Prior to his death, in January 2013, his net worth was estimated as US$ 1.4 billion.[2] He died of a heart attack at his home on 11 March 2014, aged 77 years.[13] [14] In 2016, 22 family members initiated three separate proceedings in the Supreme Court of Western Australia to contest his A$ 2.5 billion estate.[15] [16] [17] Under Buckeridge's 2008 will which vested in 2019, his empire was divided among 15 heirs — his six children, eight grandchildren and partner, Tootsie Ambrose.[18]
