Sanchia Brahimi has traded in the Vaucluse house she long shared with her ex-husband, celebrity chef Guillaume Brahimi, to buy into Woolloomooloo’s landmark Finger Wharf for $11.7 million.

Brahimi’s purchase is among the most expensive to trade in the Lang Walker-developed former industrial wharf conversion, topped by Russell Crowe’s $14.35 million purchase in 2003 and the $15 million purchase by his neighbour, John Laws, in 2004.
