Gina Rinehart named Australia's richest person with $29 billion personal fortune
Mining magnate Gina Rinehart is once again Australia's richest person, having increased her wealth two-fold in just 12 months. Ms Rinehart topped the Australian Financial Review Rich List for 2020 with a personal wealth of $28.89 billion, a figure up 109 per cent on last year. Her wealth has largely been spurred on by incredible demand for iron ore from China, which saw 12 people on the list with assets connected to mining more than double their wealth.
