James Packer never left $72M apartment during his nine-day Aussie stay

Billionaire James Packer ‘never left his $72million apartment’ during his nine-day stay in Sydney despite saying he would ‘go swimming’ with his children

James Packer recently returned home to Australia after three years away but refused to leave his two-storey apartment in the Crown Sydney tower at Barangaroo, a new report has claimed.

The billionaire business man, 55, holed up in his gorgeous glass-walled unit for nine-days despite previously saying he would ‘go swimming’ with his children in Bondi.

‘He did not set foot outside from the time he arrived to the time he left,’ an alleged source told The Daily Telegraph on Friday. 

The casino tycoon was spotted leaving the country on Tuesday aboard a private jet heading straight for Argentina after his brief holiday. 

He left with ex-wife Erica Packer and their three children Indigo, 14, Jackson, 13, and Emmanuelle, 10, seemingly without fulfilling his desire to swim with them at Bondi beach.

Mr Packer intended to return to public life in Australia following a difficult few years that saw him beset by health issues.

By August last year, he had lost 33kg (72lbs or 5.2st) and also ditched the psychiatric medication that for so long altered his mood.

The twice-married father-of-three said in June he was ready to start the ‘third act’ of his life, including a planned return to his home city of Sydney.

‘I’m roughly 130kg now and want to be back to 100kg by the end of 2022,’ he told The Weekend Australian from his home in Mexico.

‘I want to swim with my kids at Bondi when we’re all in Sydney together next year and be 100kg.’

Mr Packer revealed he’d quit the antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs he was taking, and was looking to ‘rehabilitate’ his reputation Down Under.

James and Erica split in 2013, but are on good terms as they co-parent their three children.
