Bianca Rinehart celebrates a milestone birthday in style.
Bianca Rinehart celebrates a milestone birthday in style.
She is an heir to Australia’s largest mining dynasty, with a family bloodline steeped in Western Australian soil, so it was only fitting that Bianca Rinehart chose a rooftop venue in her hometown of Perth to celebrate her 40th birthday.
For a woman who is uncomfortable being the centre of attention, the gathering was a perfect opportunity for close friends and family to come together at Como the Treasury’s Wildflower rooftop restaurant to help the eldest Rinehart daughter celebrate. Her young family – husband Sasha and son Nicholas – at her side, a long and public court battle won, Bianca is in a happy place and wanted her people around her for this very private party.
The room was a dynamic mix of creatives; titans of mining and commerce; political leaders, including Julie Bishop; former Olympian Ian Thorpe; philanthropists; “adopted” family; and trusted supporters, all showing the depth and breadth of Rinehart’s circle. DJ Daimon Downey turned the dinner into a dance party under the stars into the early hours. As Bianca’s husband Sasha observed in his speech, Wildflower was a fitting venue for his wife, “wild at times but naturally gentle, loving and caring”.
