Bikini designer-turned-rich lister Erin Deering is set to farewell her North Bondi neighbours Hugh Jackman and billionaire Sam Prince following her decision to sell her apartment for $8 million to $8.5 million.

**Erin Deering’s apartment is one of six in the Rebel Penfold-Russell development.**

The four-bedder in the luxury Coast development of film producer Rebel Penfold-Russell was purchased new by Deering and former AFL footballer Craig Ellis in 2013 for $5.15 million, a year after the then-couple founded their cult swimwear label Triangl.

But following their split almost five years ago, Deering sold Ellis her half in the label for about $35 million, scoring her a place on the 2019 Young Rich List. A year later the apartment was lodged in her name alone.

Ellis is now based in Monaco and Deering has returned to her Melbourne hometown, where she lives with partner Zachary Keane, leaving the apartment as a rental in recent years for $3500 a week.

Almora House scores top price

**Almora House has jumped in value by more than $6 million in three years.**

Geneva-based tech entrepreneur Simon Clausen might be wishing he hadn’t sold his Mosman residence Almora House in 2019 for $12.9 million, given it has just resold for $19 million.

The off-market sale, rumoured to be the work of Di Jones’ John Sullivan, is good news for its most recent owners, Wallabies’ team doctor Sharron Flahive and her husband, artificial intelligence pioneer Mark Dawson.

Clausen bought the Balmoral slopes property in 2009 for $12 million as part of a mooted 3400 square metre consolidation with a couple of adjoining properties, but that was called off following his move to Geneva, and Almora House was renovated instead.
