Billionaire music industry pioneer Tom Misner has paid a record price for a Byron Bay dream home owned by a wellness guru to the stars.
Misner, who made his fortune after selling his audio engineering school SAE Institute for more than $300m in 2012, spends his time between Monaco and Australia.
And settlement records reveal he’s paid close to $12.9m ($12,869,290.00 to be exact) for ‘Cedar Hill’ at Newrybar.
That was owned by wellness coach James Duigan, who has reportedly counted Chris Hemsworth and a range of other celebrities including Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Nigella Lawson among his clients, and his wife Chrissy.

The Newrybar estate comes with this incredible resort-style pool.
The eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence is on 2ha.
Cedar Hill, which is an award-winning eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom designer residence with pool on 2ha, is close by a luxury compound owned by Chris Hemsworth’s brother, Liam.
Cedar Hill had been on the market for several years.
Duigan clearly had stars in his eyes with his original expectations of $20m with different agents, before Sotheby’s gun Will Phillips clinched the recent deal.
The result was sufficient to secure the Newrybar record price, beating the previous record for a nearby home on a much larger 15ha block.

The buyer is high-flying billionaire Tom Misner.
Phillips also has another home owned by Misner, a nine-bedroom Tuscan-inspired residence, in nearby Bungalow, listed for sale in an expressions of interest campaign.
He’s only owned that since last November, when he paid $15m — a record at the time.
That record was smashed in May, with Chemist Warehouse millionaire Brett Clark’s purchase of the equine estate Copperstone for $27.5m, previously owned by Tom and Emma Lane of the Oroton fashion empire.
