Mind you this jerk has been rich from the jump. Whether she tripled what she had or not, she had the knowledge and tools to succeed handed right to her. She knows nothing of the common man's struggle, yet she is trying to complicate it.

Not necessarily trying to complicate it, but make it far worse.

I am of the opinion that 'what goes around, come around', if not sooner, then later.

You are right about that. Excellent post.

I agree 100%. She's completely out of touch with realty in the REAL world

I agree except with the bolded. Please tell me, how does one hand another knowledge?

If by tools to succeed, you mean money, then yes, she was given a good kick start. But it still doesn't quite explain why other multi millionaires go bankrupt... Look at Mike Tyson, he filed for bankruptcy even though he received $300 million in one prize! That far outweighs what Gina Rinehart received.

I wonder how many of all you folks who are having such a whale of a time denigrating Gina Rinehart even know one single thing about her other than what you've picked up in a cursory glance at tabloid news.

Think you are missing the point....she's got enough money to make her own "real world." Which she seems to be pretty good at.

Asking (because I've never heard of this person before)....do Ms Rinehart's business holdings employ anyone? Do they provide a living for anyone else? Just curious.

From what I hear on this thread that would be a "no". Seems she's just one unprepossessing old bag who perches on a gilded throne in an ivory tower and, when not just sitting around gleefully counting her money has the sheer audacity to indulge in political commentary.

I met an Aussie family while on vacation, they live in the same city as Gina Rinehart. They said she is hated by most and doesn't care one bit. Apparently she has no redeeming qualities and is far to the Right... that usually goes without saying.
