Sarina Russo, Peter Senior and Charter Hall have spent millions on their new Coast apartments

Some of the country’s wealthiest rich listers have been dropping huge amounts of cash snapping up Gold Coast property. See where they’re buying.

SARINA Russo, queen of the recruitment industry, has spent $6.25m buying the last available apartment in Harvey Norman CEO Katie Page’s beachfront Main Beach building M3565.

The sale was revealed last month, with the undisclosed buyer described as a Brisbane woman intending to use the sixth-floor apartment as a weekender.

Sarina has a penthouse and one other condo in the nearby Palazzo Versace, where her named cropped up in January during a clash between owners and hotel management.

Peter Senior, champion golfer and pride of the Hope Island Resort, has sold his waterfront home in the resort for $4.05m – he was asking $2.695m in 2012.

The home, which spans more than 900sq m, was built for Peter, 62, and wife June early in the new millennium and has five bedrooms with en suites.

A Chinese buyer who perhaps took a fancy to the putting green in the backyard snared it two days before auction.

Charter Hall, a major player in the property-funds business, has emerged as the $21.5m buyer who has fuelled its portfolio by becoming landlord to KFC and Starbucks outlets at Southport.

The four-year-old Servico on Olsen centre is anchored by a Shell Express and other tenants include Burger’D, Sushi Train and 12RND Fitness.
