Did you know that the English Monarch has over 7 billion dollars worth of RIO TINTO shares? It gives the queen about 300 million dollars of franked dividends each year.
Now there is nothing wrong with being a share holder, BUT at least the shareholder should have PURCHASED the shares in the first place.
You see, the Royal family was given this lucrative parcel of shares FOR NOTHING when RIO TINTO was originally set up several decades ago.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! - stuff everybody else (I didnt know that GOD had preferences for royalty and ignored everybody else - what sort of GOD is that?
)
