Heiress tells proles to "cut down on drinking, smoking and socialising if they want to become wealthy."

Mrs Rinehart, who has seen her fortunes rise after parlaying a multi-million dollar inheritance into a mining empire now worth more than $20 billion, blames anti-business and socialist policies for hurting the poor.



See? It's easy to become obscenely wealthy. Just inherit millions upon millions of dollars and use the influence of your family and the money to make billions. Slackers.

Yet another splendid argument for confiscatory estate taxation.

Fuck you, lady, and the Rolls you drove here in.

3. Another data point

In the continuing accumulation of evidence for the proposition "rich right-wingers are psychopaths"

...and he says, "Can you believe it? When I came here I only had 100 million dollars, and now I own all of this."
