About Gina Rinehart
Gina Rinehart is the richest person in Australia. She made her money from iron ore. Her father, Lang Hancock, found iron ore, and she took over his struggling company, Hancock Prospecting, in 1992.
The company’s biggest project is Roy Hill, a mine that started sending iron ore to Asia in 2015. Rinehart paid off the $7.2 billion debt for this project. She has also invested a lot in rare earth minerals and gas.
Rinehart is the second-largest cattle producer in Australia, owning many properties across the country. In December 2023, Hancock Prospecting and a Chilean company, SQM, made a $1.1 billion offer to buy a lithium company, Azure Minerals, in western Australia.
