Gina Rinehart giving away $100,000 bonus to workers

Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart will hand out another $4.1 million in bonuses to staff to mark her 41st anniversary with the firm.

Rinehart will hand $100,000 each to 41 workers at her mining company, Hancock Prospecting.

A raffle will be held this week to determine the lucky winners, The West Australian reports.

The event will also mark Rinehart’s 69th birthday, on Thursday.

The mining mogul – estimated to be worth about $30 billion – dished out $1 million in bonuses just weeks earlier in a Christmas draw.

One of the $100,000 winners had only worked at the company for three months.
