Gabriel Jakob has founded and sold three businesses for hundreds of millions of dollars, making him one of the most active Australian entrepreneurs in the past five years, but chances are you’ve never heard of him.

The 42-year-old Swede was first mentioned in the media in 2020, when he emerged as the buyer of a Point Piper mansion for $40 million. In the following years he garnered a handful of further mentions, tied to the purchase of another two waterfront properties in the exclusive locale totalling $99.5 million.
