Billionaire heiress Francesca Packer has been spotted at Bondi Junction shopping centre, and I guess that means she’s almost just like us.
Packer, 28, is Kerry Packer’s eldest grandchild and is the daughter of Gretel Packer and British financier Nick Barham.
She’s been spotted doing one of the more mundane things in life - heading into her local shopping mall.
Despite her billionaire status, she’ll be subjected to dealing with all the very normal things that go with shopping.
Awful lighting and concerningly shiny floors, and if she isn’t recognised, she’ll probably get ignored by sales assistants, too.
The heiress was dressed in the unofficial uniform young women tend to wear to a shopping centre in 2023.
She was decked out in black activewear and slides, and her hair was done up in a messy bun. She couldn’t have looked more like a typical 20-something.
The only giveaway of her billionaire status was that she arrived in a custom pink Mercedes worth around six figures with a customised Queen number plate.
Subtle? No.
Iconic? Yes.
Packer was also accompanied by her rumoured boyfriend, wellness entrepreneur Robert Bates, 43.
They have been linked since 2022, but there have been rumours they have been on/off. They looked happy and domestic together outside Bondi Junction Westfield.
Bates was dressed very low-key in a blue shirt, blue shorts and running shoes.
Packer might lead an extravagant life, but she usually shies away from the press. Several years ago, she did open up to Vogue about living up to her famous last name.
“I’m never going to fit them, because they’re not my shoes,” she told Vogue.
“I’ll find different shoes. It’s not about being better than the last generation in any way or being better than anyone else on the planet; it’s about being the best you that you can be. And I think my mum really emphasised that, and she kept us almost secure and safe and away from that pressure,” she said.
