A ngela Bennett is an Australian mining heiress whose vast fortune is derived from the iron ore riches of Western Australia's Pilbara region. She is the daughter of the late Peter Wright, a pioneering prospector who, with his partner Lang Hancock (the father of Gina Rinehart), secured the rights to vast tracts of iron ore-rich land in the 1950s and 60s. This foresight laid the foundation for one of Australia's greatest mining dynasties.

Bennett's wealth comes from her share of the family's private company, Wright Prospecting, which earns enormous royalties from the iron ore mined on its tenements by global mining giant Rio Tinto. Unlike some other mining magnates, Bennett has maintained a relatively low public profile, though she has been involved in high-profile legal disputes, including a protracted court battle with her brother and the children of her late brother over the family's assets. She is also known for her significant real estate holdings, including a riverside mansion in Perth that was once the country's most expensive home.
