Australian mining
magnate Gina Rinehart
has become the world's
richest woman, according
to the country's respected business magazine BRW.
It says Ms Rinehart, 58, is now worth A$29bn ($28bn; £18bn), having increased her wealth by nearly A$20bn in a
year.
It is now possible that she could become the world's first $100bn person, the magazine says.
It says the heiress to an iron-ore prospecting empire earns A$52m a day, A$1m every half hour or A$600 a second.
