Roxy Jacenko’s ‘ giveaway home’ sold for $7.3m
The luxury Sydney home caught up in the Roxy Jacenko giveaway controversy has finally been sold for $7.3m.
The luxury Cronulla home caught up in the Roxy Jacenko giveaway controversy last year has been sold for $7.3m.
Zephyr, on Dodson Ave, attracted headlines in March last year when it was offered in an ill-fated promotion for Jacenko’s Bootcamp course subscriptions.
Jacenko’s decision to quit the lottery venture resulted in contested court proceedings.

The PR mogul had partnered with the property owners Youssef Tleis and Kassim Alaouie on the promotion, offering her Bootcamp customers the chance to win what was billed as a $10m waterfront.
The construction duo had paid $3.36m in 2020, then demolished the 1960s home on 500sq m.
Tleis and Alaouie had also unsuccessfully sought in late 2023 to secure a $10m buyer for the contemporary four-bedroom waterfront on Port Hacking.

Zephyr has been quietly bought by a company directed by Andrew McVeigh, the Caringbah South-based founder of Remara Investment Management, and his wife, Rachael.
The former Brookfield Asset Management chief financial officer served as a board member of the Cronulla Sutherland District Rugby League Football Club in 2017.
Cronulla recently saw prices hit $22.5m with a sale on Taloombi St through Highland Property to the Cavanagh yacht brokerage family.

Meanwhile in between trips so far this year to Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Courchavel, Jacenko has been spending more time in Sydney after an 18-month stint in Singapore with her husband Oliver Curtis.
Jacenko has expressed mixed feelings about Singapore, describing it as “soulless.”
Last December the Wentworth Courier referenced she was on the home hunt in Sydney’s east, inspecting an $18m six-bedroom, four-bathroom Virginia Kerridge-designed Wentworth Rd, Vaucluse mansion several times.
