Biography

- Bennett holds a major stake in Wright Prospecting, which is in litigation with Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting over various iron-ore properties.
- In December 2025 she sold a 15% stake in the Rhodes Ridge iron ore project in western Australia to Japanese giant Mitshui & Co in a $2 billion deal.
- Bennett's son Todd Bennett is the executive director of her private investment company AMB Holdings.
