A boss for the Packer family appears to be following in James’ footsteps after making a $90 million play for his 200-guest Aussie mansion.

A Rose Bay mansion with links to James Packer has hit the market with hopes above $90m.

The five-bedroom residence in Bayview Hill Rd is the home of Lawrence Myers, chief executive of Packer’s family office Consolidated Press Holdings. and his wife, Sylvia.

On a 1039sqm block, the grand property, designed by David Walker and Peter Janks, has incredible views of the Harbour Bridge from nearly every room — even the bathtub and gym.

There’s also a spectacular wet-edge pool with spa and cabana.
