Former model Jennifer Hawkins and her builder husband, Jake Wall, have barely begun building their next luxury mansion on Sydney’s Whale Beach clifftop. But they look to have already found a buyer – for close to $30 million.

This is the double block once owned by the late Joan Sutherland. It was bought by the photogenic couple in 2020 for $6.95 million from Museum of Contemporary Art chair Lorraine Tarabay. That purchase followed their success selling their Newport home to tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes.
