At the time of the purchase, the Alexanders already owned in Robertson, but sold that property, Possumwood, in 2018 for $2.1 million. In the same year, they sold their harbourfront apartment in Elizabeth Bay’s Del Rio block for $8.5 million.
Alexander resigned from Crown in 2020, a year after damning revelations in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and 60 Minutes about the casino’s relationships with organised crime-linked “junket” operators. At a government inquiry that followed, Alexander denied having knowledge of the extent of the junket issues.
The listing comes amid talk that the couple are moving to Italy.

Bellevue Hill done cheap
Bellevue Hill’s median house price soared to $9.17 million last year thanks to a slew of trophy home sales, which makes the long-held home of the Anderson Stuart family look almost cheap given a guide of $10 million. Almost.

The three-bedroom house last traded in 1961 when bought by the late Peter Anderson Stuart, a brother of philanthropist Lady Primrose Potter and grandson of medical pioneer Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart.
At the time, so the story goes, Anderson Stuart chose the house because it was within walking distance from Scots College, only for him and his wife Colina to then have two daughters Alexandra and Primrose, owner of the Double Bay lingerie store White Ivy.
The house is set on prized Ginahgulla Road, among whose neighbours are businessman Richard Scheinberg, owner of the $58 million Rona estate, the Baillieu family, and Simon Wright, who this week was appointed to replace Macquarie’s top moneymaker Nick O’Kane (no pressure).
McGrath’s Luke Hogan and Georgia Cleary have set a March 2 auction.
