MEET GINA RINEHART, THE RICHEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD
Born 58 years ago, Georgina 'Gina'
Hope Rinehart is a businesswoman from Australia. She is into mining
of natural resources such as iron ore, coal and manganese and with a
fortune estimated at $29 billion, she makes more money than any other
woman in the world. Before her emergence, the richest female in the
world was Christy Walton of the United States. Roughly, she makes the
following:
$52 million in a day
$1 million every half an hour
$600 every single second
At the moment, Gina Rinehart is locked
in a vicious legal struggle with three of her four children who have
dragged her to court over her control of the huge family fortunes.
And in addition to the dispute she has with her kids over the
billions, she also battles the government attempts to tax mining
companies. However, the wranglings aside, various analysts say that
at the rate at which she is going, she will soon become the richest
person in the world. Whether she will overtake the likes of Carlos
Slim and Bill Gates remains a question that only time will answer.
