Australia's richest person Gina Rinehart has eclipsed Wal-Mart heiress Christy Walton to become the world's wealthiest woman, according to an annual index by Business Review Weekly.

A preview of the respected BRW Rich 200 list, published Wednesday, put the mining tycoon's personal fortune at Aus$29.17 billion (US$28.48 billion), a figure that sees her outstrip Walton for the first time.

In March, Forbes placed Walton and her family's net worth at US$25.3 billion, while Rinehart's fortune stood at US$18 billion.

BRW rich list editor Andrew Heathcote said mining magnate Rinehart had almost tripled her wealth in 12 months as commodity prices rose and she pulled off two deals in iron ore and coal.

"The Aus$18.87 billion increase in her wealth is unparalleled. It is a product of foreign investment in new projects, increased production and a recovery in the iron ore price over the past six months," said Heathcote.

Rinehart, 58, heiress to an iron ore prospecting empire built in Australia's resources-rich west, is a controversial figure who stridently campaigned against new mining taxes and recently bought up big in the media sector.

She is also locked in a series of lawsuits, including an acrimonious row with her own children over a family trust where she has been accused of threatening to financially ruin them.

Heathcote said Rinehart was on track to overtake Mexican telecommunications tycoon Carlos Slim -- worth US$69 billion -- as the world's richest person as demand ramps up for Australia's natural resources.

"A $100 billion fortune is not out of the question for Rinehart if the resources boom continues unabated," said Heathcote.

"There is a real possibility that Rinehart will become not just the richest woman in the world but the richest person in the world."

The full BRW list of Australia's richest people, the upper rungs of which are usually dominated by mining tycoons, will be unveiled on Thursday.

根據《商業評論周刊》年度索引，澳大利亞首富吉娜?萊茵哈特蓋過沃爾瑪女繼承人克里斯提?沃爾頓，成為全世界最富有的女人。

《商業評論周刊》周三發布了公信力頗高的200強富豪榜的預告。預告顯示，這位礦業大亨的個人財富首次超過了沃爾頓，以291.7億澳元（合284.8億美元）的個人資產居于首位。

三月份的《福布斯》雜志顯示，沃爾頓一家的凈資產為253億美元，而萊茵哈特的資產為180億美元。

《商業評論周刊》富豪榜的編輯安德魯?希斯考特說，礦業巨頭萊茵哈特的財富在12個月里增加了近兩倍，一方面是因為商品價格的上漲，另一方面是由于她最近做成了兩筆鐵礦和煤炭生意。

希斯考特說：“她的財富增加速度是無人能比的，一年就增加了188.7億澳元。這是新項目外國投資、產量增加和過去六個月內鐵礦價格復蘇的結果。”

58歲的萊茵哈特繼承了在資源豐富的澳大利亞西部創立起來的一家鐵礦勘探大企業。她高調反對新礦業稅，近來還大量收購媒體，是個備受爭議的人物。
