About Hope Welker

Hope Welker is the third child of Australian mining billionaire Gina Rinehart.

Together with her three siblings, she is the beneficiary of a trust that owns a large stake in mining giant Hancock Prospecting.

She joined, then withdrew, from a court battle waged by her siblings to remove their mother as trustee.

Hancock disclosed that as of September 2023 it had provided A$5.44 billion for dividends that will be paid after the dispute between Bianca and her brother John against their mother is resolved.
