Australian businesswoman Gina Rinehart honoured by King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia

WA iron ore magnate and philanthropist Gina Rinehart has been honoured by the Cambodian king for her charity work in the country. King Norodom Sihamoni bestowed The Royal Order of Sahametrei on the Hancock Prospecting executive chair at a recent ceremony — the highest honour that can be granted to a non Cambodian. It is “awarded for Distinguished Services to the King and to the people of Cambodia”.

Rinehrta has previously spoken of a group of nine girls from impoverished backgrounds to whom she had become close after intervening to offer them a chance at gaining an education in the early 2000s. In 2019, she referred to the group as her “Cambodian daughters”. “They started their lives very differently to each of us. They had to scavenge from sinking rubbish dumps in Cambodia, some of them sadly without parents. The rubbish dumps are not safe places for young girls,” she said.
