Just in case you were beginning to think rich people were deeply misunderstood and that they feel the pain of those who are less fortunate, here's the world's wealthiest woman, Australian mining tycoon Gina Rinehart, with some helpful advice.

"If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and complain," she said in a magazine piece. "Do something to make more money yourself -- spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working."

Yeah, let them eat cake.

Rinehart made her money the old-fashioned way: She inherited it. Her family iron ore prospecting fortune of $30.1 billion makes her Australia's wealthiest person and the richest woman on the planet.

Dear gawd, that dingo ate a lot of babies.

Weak excuse. She should just try harder. What we're born with doesn't matter, right?

I would drink constantly if I had to wake up next to that thing

Let's get through the class warfare smokescreen. We need to regain our roots and encourage people to invest and build. There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire. If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and complain; do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking, or smoking and socializing, and more time working. Become one of those people who work hard, invest and build, and at the same time create employment and opportunities for others. Australia needs such people.

doesn't sound AS bad in context, but still not a fan

She has a point. She is probably not the best one to say it though.

well then who is gonna teach our kids, protect our streets, fight our fires, defend our nation, etc.

Plenty of low-salary-ceiling jobs that are much more honorable than CEO. If we turn our world into a cash grab, then welll

^^^ Actually not you directly Mose, but the whole "she's probably right" sentiment (and of course the FS herself)

I don't know. Working hard, investing, building, etc., is not a guarantee of success. (And I'll ignore the inference that someone isn't working hard at a "normal" job.) Once a person gets to the point in life where they've got a spouse and kids, taking a huge risk like that isn't just risking your own well-being. As an attorney, I could start my own law firm and make a lot of money down the road (and in turn, employ other people), but I'm also running the significant risk of not being able to afford my daughter's day care bills or my law school loans (or my wife's for that matter) in the short term. That wouldn't be doing my family any favors.

It's very, very easy for people who are born into enormous wealth to take risks, because the fallback options are always there for them.

Not to mention that the "spend less time drinking... more time working" line is ridiculous.

Wonder what her thoughts about going to the gym are

if you say it with an Australian accent and pretend she's swigging a Fosters it doesn't sound that bad
