EP7 with Betty Klimenko - Both Sides of the Track News21 Mar 2022

This is a podcast where we sit down with some very successful people from the world of business, entertainment and sport about their life’s journey and what got them to the position that they’re in today.

 

In today’s episode, we are chatting with Betty Klimenko. 

 

Betty has climbed some mountains in her life. She’s the outlier. The one who doesn’t mind being different, and embraced her own quirkiness and individuality.

 

Betty calls herself a bogan. She says it with reverence. Betty was born a child of addiction, and later adopted by the couple who later went on to start Westfield.

 

She is now among the wealthiest women in Australia, and the only one to have her own professional car racing team, Erebus Motorsport. She experienced what life was like ‘on the other side of the track’ with her husband Daniel, after her father essentially kicked her out of the family for marrying someone 11 years younger than her that wasn’t Jewish. Betty and Daniel have now been married for 32 years.

 

She has had a very interesting life. Betty is generous. She is humble and she is like no one you’ll ever meet.

 

As for all of these podcasts, Shaw and Partners have generously donated $10k to the charity of choice of each of our guests. We discuss who that money goes to in this chat.

 

The executive producer of this podcast is Keeshia Pettit.

 

The host of this podcast is Gus Worland.
