It's a BHP bonanza for Aussie boomers with the company announcing a record dividend, which also spurred a big jump in their share price.
BHP (ASX:BHP) is a blue chip favourite of Aussie boomers, many of whom either hold shares in the company directly or through a managed fund, or their super fund.
BHP's total dividend is a record $4.62 Australian dollars - that means people are getting nearly 5 bucks for every BHP share they own.
And the Boomers got a double whammy win - BHP shares also jumped more than 5%.
