BBG News

As a seasoned observer of high society, I must say that the life of Francesca, the young heiress, is nothing short of captivating. From her impressive real estate portfolio to her glamorous social circle, she embodies the essence of a modern-day aristocrat.

This past weekend, Francesca Packer celebrated her 30th birthday extravagantly without holding back on expenses.

The billionaire heiress hosted a dress up shindig at upmarket eatery Mimi’s in Coogee with an A-list guest list. 

At the event, there was also social media personality Indy Clinton, resembling Pamela Anderson from her Baywatch era, sporting a blonde wig and a red bathing suit.

Previously known as the host of “The Project,” Lisa Wilkinson was just one of the many high-profile attendees, yet she disregarded the formal dress code and instead chose a stylish, relaxed black suit instead.

Norwegian singer Adelén chose to emulate Julia Roberts’ iconic look from the popular romantic comedy film, Pretty Woman.

On this particular day, Francesca, adorned in a costume reminiscent of Wednesday Addams, captivated her partner, Robert Gates, with her charisma.

Also coming along to celebrate the occasion was her grandmother, Roslyn, and her mother, Gretel. 

Bella, Wolfgang Clinton, was also present, offering peeks at a lively gathering featuring oysters and pasta as delicious options.

Attendees’ social media updates displayed a lively gathering where folks indulged in caviar and champagne, dancing well into the early morning hours.

Throughout the night, high-society individuals and famous personalities interacted, capturing playful bathroom self-portraits and dancing energetically as the hours passed.

Francesca recently set sail on a luxurious European yacht trip with her beau Robert.

It’s been reported that the daughter of investor Gretel Packer and financier Nick Barham, a wealthy heiress, was seen disembarking at a Greek port in Corfu around July.

During a romantic European summer trip, as reported by the Daily Telegraph, Francesca and Robert set sail for a Greek island, departing from the Italian port of Naples.

It was reported that the pair were cruising aboard Gretel, Francesca’s mom’s luxurious yacht, named the Arctic P, which boasts an astounding value of $119 million.

A luxurious, 87-meter long ship constructed in Germany was set sail in the year 1969. This magnificent vessel can be rented for private use by a maximum of 12 guests, along with a team of 25 dedicated crew members.

In 1995, the Packer family purchased a yacht that was previously used for expeditions. Since then, it has gone through several renovations and upgrades.

In 2022, Francesca and Robert started a romantic relationship, which they made public in December following reports of them sharing a kiss on the balcony of a lavish yacht located within Sydney Harbour.

I can’t help but spill my heart out! I find myself utterly smitten by this divorced dad, so much so that I’ve shared my secret dream of creating a family with him to my closest friends.

As a seasoned professional in the realm of health and wellness, I’ve had the opportunity to lead two ventures, Aurum+ and Aquamamma, which, despite their challenges, have contributed valuable insights to my journey. Presently, I am thrilled to be the founder of 7 Trinity Biotech, a new chapter in my mission to revolutionize the wellness industry.

Francesca is the child of Australian businessperson Gretel Packer and the great-grandchild of the late media tycoon, Kerry Packer.

She has an Australian billionaire as her uncle, specifically James Packer, who previously held the positions of owner and chairman at the prominent Crown Resorts company.

Francesca finally sold her stunning Sydney apartment, which she initially listed for sale nearly a year prior.

Reportedly, she walked away with a $30 million profit from the sale of the five-bedroom property, which she had bought for $16.75 million in 2019.

Perched in the vibrant district of Darlinghurst, approximately 2 kilometers from the city center, this exquisite penthouse occupies an entire level within the esteemed Horizon edifice, offering breathtaking panoramas of the metropolitan skyline.

Francesca first listed the luxury flat in November 2023 for an eye-watering $32million. 

However, the elegantly designed apartment remained unsold for nearly seven months. It was put back up for sale in June, priced at a staggering $30 million.

According to a report in the Wentworth Courier on Thursday, the party handling the sale did not verify the transaction.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve learned from my sources within the real estate industry that my friend Francesca’s apartment has just been sold at auction to a local buyer – nearly reaching the asking price.

The report indicates that the wealthy heirress decided to sell the property as she wished to devote more time to her secondary residence in London.

In the meantime, it appears that Robert Bates, aged 44, was residing in Francesca’s apartment while she was away on vacation, according to Daily Mail Australia’s understanding.

The apartment showcases a design by renowned Australian-Austrian architect Harry Seidler, featuring no less than five bathrooms adorned with exquisite Côte d’Azur marble.

A balcony that offers a 360-degree view of Sydney’s famed harbour.

Perched high up at the 40th level of a lavish high-rise building, this penthouse boasts its own private entrance, exquisite Brazilian marble floors, elegant French Oak herringbone patterned wood flooring, customized lighting fixtures, and tasteful brass and leather details.

The apartment complex boasts a wine cellar, a cocktail lounge (or wet bar), an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a fitness center, a barbecue spot, and beautifully maintained gardens.
