Around the time Gina Rinehart’s lover Robert Sparke died on January 10, 2013, one piece of his personal estate passed to an accountant named Shoou-Jong Jabez Huang, rather than Mr Sparke’s children or grandchildren.
Mr Huang was a little-known finance executive within Mrs Rinehart’s private empire in 2012, when according to official records, he took full ownership of Mr Sparke’s company Outback WA Pty Ltd.
