The chief claim to notability that is made in the lede of this article is that the subject is wealthy. The sources are passing mentions of humdrum events in the main, with one or two weak sources presented, the 'Who's Who' entry isn't actually one, for instance - it does rather feel like Mr Bond has shelled out a few of his many hundreds of millions of dollars and had a page made for him.

 * There are 17 sources cited, including international publications the Wall St Journal, CNBC, Fox News, both of Australia's major national newspapers, and numerous major metropolitan newspapers. There might be a couple of references in there to events you've deemed "humdrum", but they don't detract from the major. independent, national and international news coverage the subject has received. Surely the subject is notable based on that coverage? Further the subject also fulfills the additional criteria for notabliity in being included in a national dictionary of biography. He happens to be wealthy as a result of his contributions to the business world, science, and his leadership of major companies. I'll update the intro so it's not so focused on wealth if you prefer, but I also don't see why being wealthy somehow negates the subject fulfilling Wikipedia's criteria for notability.

Keep. Agree with Theronswanson. While the article is written in a somewhat promotional tone and should be wikified, there is ample material on the page supporting WP:ANYBIO.

 * Keep His coverage seems to be significant. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 15:50, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. I started checking the sources and three of the first six cited sources were articles from national Australian dailies and were substantially about the subject. The sixth was a feature on CNBC about him.  Bond clearly meets WP:GNG. Fiachra10003 (talk) 19:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
