Gina Rinehart was spotted standing shoulder to shoulder with Donald Trump’s daughter as she mingled with friends and supporters of the US Republican presidential candidate at his election party at Mar-A-Lago.
A beaming Ms. Rinehart posed with Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump’s fourth child, during the purple-lit soirée at his sprawling family home in Florida.
Ms. Rinehart wore a wide-brimmed farmer’s hat and proudly held a sign on her shoulders with Trump’s pro-mining mantra: “drill, baby drill.”
The billionaire mining magnate sat with the socialist founder of the pro-Trump women’s support group the Trumpettes, Toni Holt Kramer.
Ms Kramer boasted she was sitting with “Australia’s biggest celebrity”.
“Gina Rinehart is here and she looks phenomenal in her Western Australian hat. And Teena McQueen is here, so we have all the important people of Australia who love your country,” she told Seven News.
‘We sit together, we’ve all been friends for seven or eight years. I would say Gina is to Australia what President Trump is to America: she wants to see nothing but good for your country.
“She wants to see everything that would make your country better and better. And she is the most dedicated woman I know, and always has been from the day I met her.”

Ms Kramer previously revealed that Trump sat at the table with technology billionaire Elon Musk, who brought his four-year-old son X to the event.
A photo taken at the event showed Trump in a serious conversation with Musk and another co-owner of the American Ultimate Fighting Championship, Dana White.
Ms. Rinehart said she hoped Trump would win in the election.
“I’m still nervous, but I’m really hoping for a Trump victory,” she said The Australian last week.
She warned that if Kamala Harris won the election, she would be “more socialist and evil than (Joe) Biden.”
The mining magnate described Trump as “patriotic and courageous” and said he was a model for other world leaders.
If Trump comes to power, the former president wants to reduce America’s dependence on income taxes – and make up for the shortfall through rising import tariffs.

He proposes a 60 percent tariff on all Chinese goods, and a 10 percent tariff on all US imports worth $3 trillion.
Ms. Rinehart, who opposes tariffs, said she believed this was a negotiating position and that Trump would not impose such blanket measures but would take it on a country-by-country basis.
However, the Australian mining magnate is a strong supporter of other Trumpian policies.
“He understands that if you put in place policies that welcome investment, like less government taxes, less taxes, you get a return on investment, you bring growth and you raise living standards,” Ms. Rinehart said.
