Actor Sophia Forrest, daughter of billionaire mining magnate and pastoralist Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, baulked four years ago when she enquired about the cost of a Surry Hills terrace and was told a guide of $3.4 million.

It is perhaps understandable she “choked and hung up”, as she told Sunday Life magazine, given her philanthropic dad has previously stated he won’t be leaving his fortune – estimated at $23 billion on last year’s AFR Rich List – to his three kids, Grace, Sophia and Sydney.
