It took just eight days for NSW cricket captain Moises Henriques to find a buyer for his former matrimonial home in Clovelly.

Listed at $7.5 million guide, it fetched $8.3 million-plus.

He built it with his ex-wife, one-time KIIS FM newsreader Krista Thomas, in 2019 after paying $3.125 million for an original 1930s home a year prior.
