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.
希斯考特说，随着对澳大利亚自然资源需求量的增加，莱茵哈特有望赶超墨西哥电信大亨卡洛斯•斯利姆(其个人资产为690亿美元)，成为全世界最富有的人。
"A $100 billion fortune is not out of the question for Rinehart if the resources boom continues unabated," said Heathcote.
希斯考特说：“如果自然资源需求持续强劲，1000亿美元的财富对莱茵哈特来说并非不可能。”
"There is a real possibility that Rinehart will become not just the richest woman in the world but the richest person in the world."
“很有可能莱茵哈特不仅会是全世界最富有的女人，而且会成为全世界最富有的人。”
