i can see her point
she may have been born into money, but she hasn't thrown it away like so many poor little rich kids and if the ones whinging about the rich got off their butts and the grass to make it happen, they might just make it - it is easier to sit in the pub though . . . and there is nothing wrong with that if that is what they want, but don't complain about not being given a break there is no monopoly on being rich in this country and surprisingly the ones that make all the money are the one's that put in the hours where it counted - and then they employ people like me, so i can survive as well |

some people get a pretty tough start in life, would do her good to see how the other half lives. Kids have no choice who there parents are and the situations they grow up in. She should thank her lucky stars Lang gave her such a start in life.

While i can sorta see her point she shouldnt talk as she isnt self made... she inherited (stole) her fathers riches and didnt have to work for it.
There are plenty of self made millionares out there who worked their butts off to get where they are today. She isnt one fo them

Well, I'm sure there are in fact many lazy drunks who are poor.
I'm also sure there are in fact many lazy drunks who are incredibly wealthy.

I agree.
Its not here fault she was born into money, so its a redundant point. Her father before her had to work hard, and built up a successful empire. Her comments seem to be aimed at people who are happy to sit on their arse and want the government to subsidise everything for them, while that sit around with their smokes, grog and bongs. Its so annoying to see people in government housing whinging about how they don't get treated fare etc...young mothers whom rather spit babies out so they an claim bonuses...

Just wondering.
Was she automatically the richest woman in the world when she inherited the Hancock empire or has she actually made it many times larger? |

I agree with her.
And if you've worked with some of the people I've worked with, you'd agree too. And if you disagree, you are probably one of the people she is referring too. (flame suit on, bring it on)

What if she was in the same financial position as the majority initially? Would've she done more with her investments than anyone else? And if she was raised by a non business driven father, without all those early advantages (nothing wrong having a father like this, it's an honest question. Would she?).

What she says is right. The problem is she didn't work hard for her money so she really shouldn't say anything on the matter.

it's only recently she became the worlds richest woman. And as for her kids not getting their "due" Well, it's funny how the media likes to blow things out of proportion and not tell the whole story. Have a look at how much they would be taxed if they cashed in on their "dues" early. She's protecting them and their futures. Not her fault if they have no patience.

I wouldn't consider myself wealthy, and I'm in and out of employment, but I'm a hard worker and I'm debt free aside from the mortgage on my house, which has a three-car garage with three cars in it that I own outright. (I'm also drunk.)

I started with nothing and worked several jobs at a time 7 days a week for decades. Now I am well enough off that I can spend time on weekends enjoying myself and playing on the internet instead of going out and working (although I am actually doing a server upgrade as I write this). Funny thing was back when I was a teenager and in my 20s lots of people I went to school and uni with used to laugh at me working night shift in a 24hr servo, fixing pinball machines, delivering newspapers, modding CB radios, buying doing up and selling cars and motorbikes and any other thing I could think of when I was not working in the Electricity supply as an apprentice electrician. They said I was wasting my life and I should be out with them drinking, smoking, taking drugs and generally doing nothing productive. Strangely some of them have made rather nasty comments about my various FPVs and other toys suggesting I am a lazy bastard and an oxygen thief because they can't afford such things as all their money goes on more important things like rent, smokes, grog, pokies, prepaid mobile phone, internet, DVD rental and anything else they need to do except work..... |

Some people are just too stupid or too stubborn to know better...

As for how she is seen by some - look at the way she treats her Aboriginal half sister - she does not even acknowledge her.

Is this an arguement on Gina's credibility?
Or are we debating on what she is saying being right or wrong? I doubt the Richard Branson's and Donald Trumps of the world will disagree either.

My point is she didn't earn that million, regardless if she earned the rest from then on she wouldn't have period, without that initial million in this first place. Give someone an advantage like that over everyone, barely anyone gets them of course you're going to do something with it for gods sake! I had a mate who did nothing, then dad put him in one of his spare investment properties (next door), now the kid works hard bought himself a 40k VE ute. Easy to get motivated when you get a kickstart in life.
