To celebrate her 69th birthday billionaire Gina Rinehart has been handing out millions of dollars to employees in an act of “life-changing generosity”, the Australian Financial Review reported.
“The often misunderstood and sometimes unfairly maligned billionaire gave away at least 10 prizes of $100,000 each at a Christmas gathering for Roy Hill workers,” wrote Perth reporter Brad Thompson in a headline so glowing it could have been written by Australia’s richest woman herself: “Rinehart gives away millions to workers in birthday raffle.”
