The richest Australian, Gina Rinehart, has stepped outside her comfort zone.
The billionaire mining magnate has taken a stake worth over $1 billion in Elon Musk's newly listed Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
(NASDAQ:SPCX), better known as SpaceX.
"Having built two of the world's top-10 largest companies by market capitalization is an extraordinary achievement … Elon has done what very few people in history have done," Rinehart said, according to the AFR.
"He has not just imagined the future, he has built companies capable of delivering it, and helped to keep American technology at the forefront," she added.
