The Force’s bid for survival received a massive boost on Saturday when Forrest pledged to do everything within his powers to help the Perth-based franchise avoid the chop.
Forrest, the chairman of Fortescue Metals, is valued at $4.5 billion according to Forbes.
And he has a history of bankrolling causes close to his heart.
Earlier this year, Forrest revealed he would donate $400 million to charity.
Now, the Australian philanthropist has added ‘saving the Force’ to his to-do list.
The ARU will axe either the Rebels or Force ahead of next season.
Rebels owner Andrew Cox has previously stated he won’t sell the licence if it means it will be immediately closed down.
But with Cox losing millions, rumours are circulating he is still in negotiations with the ARU about selling the licence back.

The budget savings at the bowser are likely to continue, experts say, as international wholesale petrol prices nudge downwards and Perth petrol stations wage a price war.
Fuel Watch data shows Perth’s cheapest unleaded petrol hit a low of 97.9¢ a litre this week — the first time it has gone below $1 a litre in nine months, when it bottomed out at 90.1¢ a litre.
With discount coupons and shopping dockets that can offer as much as 8¢ a litre off, savvy commuters can fill up for less than 90¢ a litre tomorrow, with Monday the cheapest day of the week at many stations.
But the weekly price cycle means big differences in cost depending on the day you fill up, with the average unleaded fuel price for July $1.19 a litre and the highest price almost $1.36 a litre.

Peter Mungkuri has won the $100,000 inaugural Hadley’s Art Prize for his depiction of the Aboriginal community of Fregon (Kaltjiti).
Mungkuri said his piece, titled Ngura Wiru or Good Country, told a personal story.
“This is my story about that creek at Fregon,” he said. “I was born there.”
“Back then we lived in the bush, slept in the warm sand and we lived on the bush tucker.
“That place is where it all started, that was my home.
“I love this country, it has watched us Anangu (people) for many years. It is a wise country.”
Mungkuri’s ink on Somerset-paper drawing was chosen by a judging panel of three national art specialists, Lisa Slade, Rodger Butler and Julie Gough.

POLICE have named a man they say is armed and extremely dangerous and could help in their investigation into the death of a woman whose body was found in a car on the Mitchell Freeway on Saturday morning.
Det-Sen. Sgt Dean Bailey said police believed Shawn Adam Newton could be carrying a firearm and warned people not to approach him.
Sen. Sgt Bailey said police who were investigating the discovery wanted to speak to Mr Newton, 42, and called for information to help track him down.
He has been described by police as light-skinned, 186cm tall, with a medium build, short dark hair and brown eyes.
The hunt came as the dead woman was identified as Rebecca Jane Gascoigne, 35, from Scarborough, who is a mother of three.
Another man, aged 49, who is alleged to have been driving the Mitsubishi Lancer when the body was discovered, was helping police with their inquiries.
Meanwhile, police continued to search a property at Abbett Street, Scarborough.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Americans give President Donald Trump the lowest six-month approval rating of any president in polls dating back 70 years, punctuated by questions about his competence on the world stage, his effectiveness, the GOP health care plan and Russia’s role in the 2016 election.
Just 36 percent of Americans polled in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Trump’s job performance, down 6 points from his 100-day mark, itself a low. The previous president closest to this level at or near six months was Gerald Ford, at 39 percent, in February 1975.

Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina won the Wimbledon women’s doubles title for the first time on Saturday with a crushing 6-0 6-0 victory over the pairing of Taiwan’s Hao-Ching Chan and Romanian Monica Niculescu.
The second-seeded Russian pair have now won three of the grand slam events in doubles following their triumph at the French Open in 2013 and the U.S. Open a year later.
The final lasted 54 minutes and the Russians, runners-up at the All England Club in 2015, had to save just two break points in the entire match against the pairing playing in their first season together.
The top-seeded duo of American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Czech Lucie Safarova had to withdraw before the second round after Mattek-Sands suffered a severe injury in a singles match.

The so far, so good Summer of Hell at Penn Station hit a major road bump Saturday when two trains lost power, stranding more than 700 riders — and one of the rescue trains sent to help also stalled.
Amtrak authorities said electrical issues with overhead wires were to blame for the latest woes at the beleaguered transit hub.
The trouble began when a train from Miami carrying 165 people stalled as it entered Penn Station about 11:50 a.m. A rescue train sent to tow that train into the station proved no help when it was stopped in its tracks by the same electrical problems.
“This seems to be an electrical issue,” an Amtrak spokesman said. “The train became disabled just west of the station.”
When the first rescue train couldn’t reach the stalled train, a second locomotive was sent in and towed everyone to safety after about two hours...

This seems as good a time as any for me to bid you farewell. Australia were just two good there, too clinical for South Africa, who face England now. Can’t escape the sense that the final will be between England and Australia, which really would be great fun. There will be reports on the site shortly no doubt, and I will be back on Tuesday with Vish Ehantharajah for England’s semi-final with South Africa. Until then! Have a great weekend…

The Herald Sun reports a female employee was told that she was in fact on the list of a list put together by a number of male staff at AFL house.
The woman confirmed that she was told that she was “number five on the list.”
Despite these allegations, AFL CEO Gillon Mclachlan yesterday said the two sacked executives, Simon Lethlean and David Simkiss, would probably be welcomed back into the game in the near future…
