Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, has randomly selected 10 staff members to each receive a $100,000 Christmas bonus.
Billionaire Ms. Rinehart was in the holiday spirit this week when she pulled the names of 10 lucky workers from her company Roy Hill out of a hat.
“Apparently last week Gina told all the staff at Roy Hill to expect a major announcement,” a source told the radio station last week.
An anonymous worker for Roy Hill, owned by Ms. Rinehart’s parent company, Hancock Prospecting Group, called to Spoke 6PR in Perth on Tuesday to confirm the rumor.
Radio hosts said the Roy Hill worker had called the station after being “a little upset” that one of the winners had only been employed by the company for three months.

The Roy Hill mine in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia is the largest asset owned by the Hancock Prospecting Group.
The iron ore mine announced a massive profit of $3.2 billion in the 2021-22 fiscal year.
However, after-tax profit was still 28 percent lower compared to the previous year due to falling iron ore prices.
The drop in profits did not threaten Ms Rinehart’s place as Australia’s richest man or woman, with her Roy Hill mine exporting 60m tonnes of iron ore for the first time in the last fiscal year.
Ms. Rinehart is also CEO of Hancock Prospecting, a large private company with mining and ranching interests that owns 70 percent of Roy Hill Holdings.
He was ranked No. 1 on this year’s Australian Financial Review rich list, with an estimated fortune of $34 billion that puts him ahead of fellow iron ore miner Andrew Forrest and Atlassian software co-founders Mike Cannon- Brookes and Scott Farquhar.

Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart (left with Hancock Prospecting CEO Garry Korte), made a $3bn profit from her biggest iron ore mine despite Chinese blockades hurting demand ores for the manufacture of steel.
In November, Ms. Rinehart noted that the $2.8 billion her company paid in corporate taxes and state government royalties helped fund public services.
“When mining does well, Australia does well,” he said in a company statement.
“Once again, the important contribution that Roy Hill and mining in general make to the country has been highlighted: creating jobs and opportunity, boosting the economy through Covid and contributing to health, defense, police, our elderly, infrastructure and more.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Roy Hill for comment.
Roy Hill staff were informed that ten lucky employees would be chosen at random to receive a large cash bonus before Christmas, with one lucky worker only being employed at the mine for three months.
