In its list of the 200 richest Australians released earlier this week, BRW revealed Rinehart’s financial worth, reports News.com.au.

Just to ram the point home, what Julia Gillard earns in a year – a tad off the half-million Australian dollar mark at $495,430 – Gina Rinehart earns in a wince-worthy 11.8 minutes.

As for the average Australian worker (are you sitting down?) they make $69,992 in a calendar year. Gina Rinehart makes that in 1.7 minutes, or 102 seconds.
