No expense has been spared on the home with sweeping views of the yacht-jewelled North Harbour.
Rankin, who paid $9.3 million in 2022 for the home, started her career at American Express before joining Pinpoint, a start-up in the financial services and loyalty marketing space which was then acquired by Mastercard when she relocated to the US to run the data and services division in her global role as senior vice president for the company. She serves on numerous boards and is a consultant on data-driven technology and loyalty strategy.

Carmel’s conga line of owners
The landmark trophy home Carmel in Edgecliff has hit the market again with a price guide of $35 million.
Originally designed by renowned architect F. Glynn Gilling in 1935 for prominent stockbroker Stanley Utz, the home has a rich pedigree of owners. It was later owned by newspaper men Rupert “Rags” Henderson and Ezra Norton, before Rupert Murdoch purchased it in 1968 for $200,000, soon after he married his second of five wives, Anna Torv.
Murdoch offloaded it two years later for $225,000 to the Bishop family, and by the late 1980s it was owned by Warren Kitson, a director of then Hong Kong bank Wardley.

Its latest owner, renowned biotech entrepreneur Paul Hopper and his wife Deborah purchased it for $23 million just three years ago from medical device entrepreneur Dr Charalambos Revelas and his wife Mary.
Hopper’s latest biotech venture, Radiopharm Theranostics, launched on the ASX in 2021, having already attracted the investment dollars of the likes of billionaire Alex Waislitz, cattleman Jack Mann, Collette Dinnigan and Shark Tank’s Andrew Banks.
The Hoppers are looking to downsize from the grand four-bedroom, four-bathroom Mediterranean-style property which sits on a sprawling 1300-square-metre estate.
It is being sold through Gavin Rubinstein of TRG by private appointment.

Laser Clinics co-founder Babak Moini has finally sold his striking Balmoral Slopes home for $14.6 million.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom luxury property did take a discount of almost $3 million to secure a buyer after it had been listed since last year.
It was surplus to Moini’s needs after buying a $22 million pad atop Crown’s One Barangaroo tower in 2021.
The property was sold through Lisa Novak of Novak Properties and Michael Coombs of Atlas Lower North Shore.
