Gina Rinehart spotted at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party

Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart’s never been backward in coming forward about her doe-eyed adoration for Donald Trump. She’s called him “incredibly patriotic and courageous”. At The Australian Financial Review’s business person of the year dinner last year, she and her entourage booed and hissed when Trump’s danger to the world order was highlighted from the stage.
It was her divine duty to be there on Trump’s big night. There she was pictured at his election night party with the former president’s fourth-child Tiffany Trump on Tuesday night US time.
A party attendee told Seven News: “(Rinehart) is here and she looks phenomenal in her Western Australian hat. And Teena McQueen is here so we’ve got all of Australia’s very, very important people who love your country.”
Should Kevin Rudd be worried he’s about to be replaced by Australia’s richest resident? If Peter Dutton were to win next year? Stranger things have happened!
Rumours have been circling this week Rinehart’s desire to get close to Trump gets more literal than that. It goes, that she’s been in the Palm Beach property market after she was linked to some a short drive from Trump’s beachside resort.
Early last year, the Palm Beach Daily News reported shell companies linked to Rinehart were behind two property purchases in the area. One of those was a $US60 million mansion bought off Apollo Global Management. The property is 8,500 sq ft and contains five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The Delaware-based entity behind the purchase is named TT 47th LLC. Forgive the numerology, but could it be in reference Trump being elected the soon-to-be 47th president? We’ve contacted her associates for comment.
At the very least, having a soft bed close to the Trump election night rager must make sleeping even easier.
