    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • STAN PERRON — TRIBUTE Statement by Premier MR M
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 28 November 2018] p8801a-8801a Mr Mark McGowan STAN PERRON — TRIBUTE Statement by Premier MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Premier) [12.09 pm]: I rise to acknowledge the life of a great Western Australian, Stan Perron, who passed away last week aged 96. Mr Perron was one of Western Australia’s most accomplished businessmen and philanthropists, and a self-made man. From humble beginnings in a shanty in the goldfields, Mr Perron would go from selling handkerchief boxes as a child, to having a half share in a truck, to owning milk bars and taxis, before taking on his first major venture in an earthmoving business. He would see success in that industry, with involvement in iconic Western Australian projects such as Perry Lakes Stadium and the BP oil refinery, as well as in motor vehicles, with the rights to distribute Toyota vehicles in Western Australia— a rare deal for a Japanese company overseas. However, much of his fortune would come from his $1 000 investment with Lang Hancock and Peter Wright—a venture into iron ore that would eventually become the successful Western Australian iron ore industry. I had the pleasure of meeting Stan once at a dinner. He told me of his time working in Darwin during the bombings in 1942. He witnessed the event and contributed to Australia’s war effort. Ultimately, though, much of his legacy will not be in business. The legacy he leaves behind will be one of generosity, from his Stan Perron Charitable Foundation, established in 1978, which has donated tens of millions to charity, with a particular focus on children’s health and medical science.

  • $200M Pumped Into Hancock Foundation
    $200m pumped into Hancock foundation Mark Beyer 23 May 2016 Business News Wealthy Western Australians have made some eye-popping philanthropic pledges over the years but none as large as one of Gina Rinehart's recent moves. Gina Rinehart could challenge fellow iron ore billionaire Andrew Forrest as Western Australia's biggest philanthropist, after making a one-off donation of $200 million to the Hancock Family Medical Foundation. That lifted the foundation's net assets to $205 million as at June 2015, according to financial statements lodged with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. The massive donation will enable Mrs Rinehart to expand her substantial philanthropic activities, which, as outlined below, have been conducted through multiple entities, including Hancock Prospecting, Georgina Hope Foundation and the Roy Hill Community Foundation. If the full amount were distributed to charities, Mrs Rinehart would come close to matching the contributions to philanthropic causes made by Andrew and Nicola Forrest. Their Minderoo Foundation is a rarity among philanthropic foundations. Most, like Mrs Rinehart, are very private, whereas Minderoo publishes an annual report that discloses its activities in considerable detail. Since Minderoo was established in 2001, it has contributed $222 million to philanthropic causes. This includes $65 million for the Forrest Research Foundation, which provides scholarships for university researchers, and $30 million worth of shares gifted to arts and community organisations. In 2015, Minderoo spent $28 million, with half going to the Walk Free foundation, a global anti-slavery campaign established by the Forrests. It also contributed $4.8 million to 30 community groups, including $1 million for Telethon.
