Australian billionaire Robert Whyte celebrates his 80th birthday with friends in Sydney after becoming engaged to socialite Alessandra Eddy, 38


Australian billionaire Robert Whyte celebrated his 80th birthday on Friday following news of his reported engagement to fashion marketer Alessandra Eddy.

Nicholas Eddy, a well-known Paddington lawyer, is said to be less than thrilled about his daughter's rapid ascension into the billionaire's life, after she apparently moved into Whyte's sprawling $30million mansion in Darling Point. Eddy founded Australian fashion brand Luna Atelier, which was known and loved by A-listers including Kelly Rowland, Cheyenne Tozzi and Kate Ritchie. Father of three Whyte was a private investor and banker who built his fortune on property and equity market investments and was a close friend of the late billionaire Kerry Packer.
