The West Australian reports Australia’s richest woman Gina Rinehart has donated over $60 million to Australian Olympians over the past decade, new figures reveal.
The mining magnate and current Western Australian of the Year, whose net worth is estimated to be close to $40 billion, began supporting Australian athletes after the swimming team won just one gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
Through her company Hancock Prospecting, she has since poured money into Australian swimming, rowing, and volleyball.
