Half a world away from the White House and its strategic-minerals spat with China, an Australian Trump devotee has emerged as one of the dispute’s most emphatic winners.
From her base in Perth on Australia’s remote western seaboard, Gina Rinehart has amassed the world’s largest portfolio of rare-earth element investments outside of China, more than two decades after making her first fortune in the raw-material supply chain for steel.
The value of Rinehart’s stakes in four rare-earth companies alone has surged to $1.8 billion, lifting her net worth to $32.9 billion, an all-time high on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. She’s now the world’s 10th-richest woman, just behind Savitri Jindal of India’s Jindal Steel dynasty and MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos.
Rinehart’s wealth has leapfrogged other moguls who built business empires in autos and oil, and recently pushed past Russian nickel magnate Vladimir Potanin.
