Australia’s Wealthiest Woman Gina Rinehart, Expands Property Empire

Australia Australian flag

Australia’s richest woman, Gina Rinehart, continues to expand her wealth, driven by a staggering property portfolio that spans from vast cattle stations to luxurious real estate. As a mining magnate with a fortune exceeding $34 billion, Rinehart has built a sprawling empire that keeps her cash flow booming.

One standout asset is her 918,000-hectare cattle station in Queensland’s remote outback, which skyrocketed in value from $14 million to an impressive $54 million. This is just one of over a dozen cattle stations under her control, cementing her agricultural empire. A key move in her expansion strategy was the acquisition of S Kidman & Co., a company historically tied to her maternal grandfather. By partnering with Shanghai CRED, she invested $386.5 million to double her cattle stations to 21, adding nearly 4 million hectares as part of a flourishing $200 million deal reported by the Weekly Times.

Even after selling off some land, such as a 550,000-hectare station in the Northern Territory, Rinehart still holds significant agricultural assets. These include a 400,000-hectare farm in Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia, and 384,451 hectares in the Pilbara, a major mining region. In Queensland, her holdings under the S Kidman & Co banner total nearly 1.5 million hectares—larger than Australia’s capital cities—with plans for further expansion to capitalize on key port and market access.

Rinehart’s real estate ventures also extend to high-value properties across Australia. In Victoria, she acquired the 51-hectare Chrome Park, a prestigious livestock and horse-breeding farm, for $8.6 million. As the pandemic neared its end in 2022, she invested more than $76 million in four properties in a single Queensland suburb. Among these, a $9.75 million beach house, previously purchased by entrepreneur Therese Rein for $6.75 million just six months earlier, offers stunning ocean views and development approval. Situated near another Rinehart-owned property bought for $11.2 million, she continues to make high-profile acquisitions in the area, including a record-setting $21.5 million home.

Her interest in Queensland’s prime real estate doesn’t stop there. A Hancock Prospecting-affiliated company spent $34 million on one of the state’s most expensive homes, highlighting Rinehart’s ongoing commitment to expanding her prestigious property portfolio.
