I don't know about salary, but she earned $18.87 billion in 2011. That's a pretty good wicket.
You dare think about what her wicket might be like?!?

A sow?
£77k+ in Aus is not really that much - especially for a job that is as dangerous as the mining industry - and probably has shift/anti-social hours.
People seem to forget the cost of living is probably one of the highest in the world over there - your eyes would literally water at the monthly bills people have to pay in Australia (most I know pay $5000-6000 is common and not for any sort of fancy house). I know a guy who earned just over $100,000 who claimed he just couldn't survive - until his wife also went out to work (which wasn't in there original Australia emigration plans)
The average wage in Aus in 2009 was around $62,000 (it's $80,000 now for Western Australia). Even jobs as normal as Electrical Engineers were on average $120,000 a couple of years ago. It just depends really on how much the job is in demand. Just so happens that Mining is the best paid average wage in Australia at the moment (around $120,000 a year)
That's it!!
Besides all she has done is inherited the business from her father. It's not as she built all this business herself from scratch.

So why, when they suggest a wage cut, do they never suggest cutting their own wages, or those of the senior staff, only the junior ones? Why do the wages of the people who actually do the work have to "compete" with Third World wages to be as low as possible, but the wages of senior managers and execs need to "compete" with the huge wages of their US equivalents to be as high as possible? If she was to halve her own salary, she would still be vastly better off than all or almost all of her employees, but the company would be more competitive because of reduced overheads. But anyone want to suggest the odds of that happening?
Indeed I do agree. However a lot of the time the super wealthy don't draw that much of a salary. Buffet takes home $150k from Berkshire Hathaway. The extra $bn he earns are from shares and other financial products. I can't comment on Rinehart's salary as I have no idea what it is.
Does it matter all that much in a basic sense how the money is paid if by doing so the individual is enriched by a certain amount?
I'm not talking about for tax purposes or in a technical sense but the net effect here is that the individual is richer by £Xm whether it's a salary or a dividend - the structuring of it is perhaps most important for tax liabilities.

No, you are wealthy irrespective of the mode into which you are enriched, but in context.. yes it does matter - depending on the type of evasion that is aimed for. Structuring into arrangements is vital. That's what the whole evasion industry works on. Within the letter of the law, but very rarely within the spirit.
Imo, if I may interject.
Everyone is a commodity, if you aren't a controlling entity of the world, you are nothing more than a machine created from the vast industrialised education system.
