Reg Grundy, the producer behind the Australian soap opera Neighbours, has died, aged 92.

Grundy's production company created many of Australia's biggest television shows, including The Young Doctors and Prisoner: Cell Block H.

In the mid-1980s Grundy developed Neighbours with his head of drama Reg Watson.

The popular soap, which made Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan international stars, is still running today.

He was reportedly worth around A$800 million a couple of years ago! At least he had plenty of year to enjoy it. He supposedly had a 3 day party for his 85th birthday and used to own one of the world's largest yachts.
