Former owner of Billabong Matthew Perrin’s ex-wife Nicole Bricknell lists Surfers Paradise dream pad

FORMER owner of Billabong Matthew Perrin’s ex Nicole Bricknell has put her Surfers Paradise dream pad on the market.

THE ex-wife of disgraced former Billabong tycoon Matthew Perrin has put her multimillion-dollar Gold Coast property on the market.

Nicole Bricknell is selling her dream house — the five-bedroom Surfers Paradise mansion she built after her ex-husband was jailed.

Perrin was slotted for eight years in January, 2017 for scamming $13.5 million.

Opening up to ATG, Ms Bricknell said life was “great” — referring to her three children, successful real estate career and sprawling riverfront home.

16 Southern Cross Drive, Cronin Island is Nicole Bricknell’s dream home in Surfers Paradise. It is on the market.

“I’m just happy and settled,” she said.

“The kids are excellent and doing really well at school and university.”

The Perrins — who made $57 million from their investment in Billabong — fell in love as teenagers and were long considered the Coast’s golden couple.

While Ms Bricknell admits she has dated since her divorce, the mother-of-three said she wasn’t officially seeing anyone.

The property was something she put her energy into after the drama and her ex-husband being sent to jail for eight years in 2017.

“Having quite a bit of time on your own you become quite independent,” she said.

“Eventually someone will come along and the right person will come along.”

Her two-storey Cronin Island mansion is among 39 prestige properties on the exclusive island.

The luxury residence makes the most of its prestige riverfront position with spectacular views of the city skyline from almost every room.

“I wanted to capture the view from every room of the house,” Ms Bricknell said.

“And that is exactly what we have achieved.”

It comes with a seemingly endless list of luxury features including a central glass atrium, billiard room, bar, entertaining terrace and butler’s pantry.
