The heiress is said to have pocketed $30 million on the sale after purchasing the five-bedroom property in 2019 for $16.75 million.

Located in Darlinghurst, 2km from the CBD, the penthouse covers an entire floor of the prestigious Horizon building and offers spectacular views of the city skyline.

Francesca first listed the luxury apartment for sale in November 2023 for a whopping $32 million.

But after languishing on the market for seven months, the beautifully decorated apartment was put back on the market in June for $30 million.

The agent involved in the sale did not confirm the purchase, reported the Wentworth Courier on Thursday.

However, real estate experts told the publication that Francesca’s apartment was recently auctioned off by a local buyer for a price “close” to the asking price.

According to the report, the cashed-in heiress sold the house because she wanted to spend more time at her alternative London base.

Meanwhile, Daily Mail Australia understands Francesca’s boyfriend Robert Bates, 44, had been occupying the flat while the heiress was on holiday abroad.

Designed by famous Australian-Austrian architect Harry Seidler, the apartment features five bathrooms and Cote D’Azure marble.

A balcony offering a 360 degree view of Sydney’s famous harbour.

Located on the 40th floor of this luxury apartment block, the penthouse features a private lobby, Brazilian marble, French oak herringbone parquet, custom lighting, and brass and leather accents.

There is a wine room and a ‘wet bar’, while the apartment building also features a swimming pool, tennis court, gym, barbecue area and landscaped gardens.
