The expansive property portfolio of billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes and his estranged wife Annie has returned to acquisitive overdrive with three recent purchases.
But all have been bought by Annie, suggesting she is intent on shining as a property princess in the wake of their separation last July.
All three purchases have been in familiar territory, with the latest reputedly being the restored 1890s heritage-listed Southern Highlands estate, Anglewood House, which has been sold off market by Matthew Csidei for $14.5m.

Annie Cannon-Brookes’s latest purchase is the restored 1890s heritage-listed Southern Highlands estate, Anglewood House.
Anglewood House was sold off market for $14.5m.
Old World charm.
Last month, she bought Bonython, the hidden office compound of adman John Singleton in Paddington, for about $30m, despite already having family offices in the now remodelled $18.5m former German consulate on Trelawney St, Woollahra.
Last June, Annie alone spent $14.25m to buy a neighbouring property to Casa Paloma, their tropical Newport getaway that the Cannon-Brookes family bought in 2020 for $24.5m after its construction by Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall.
According to PropTrack, the median house price in Newport is currently $2,687,500.

Annie also acquired Dunk Island on the Great Barrier Reef for $24.5m in 2022.
In recent years, the pair spent more than $500m on about 30 properties in Sydney and southern NSW, topped by the 1.1ha Fairwater estate in Double Bay in 2018 from the estate of the late Lady Mary Fairfax for $100m.
Their first buy in the Highlands was when they bought the 390ha Joadja Creek Farm for $3.3m in 2016.

There is continued speculation on the Cannon-Brookes’s northern beaches cluster as their name is bandied around as the mystery buyer of Rocca Bella, the current Whale Beach spec-build of Hawkins and Wall, for about $30m.
Works remain under way with its Christmas Eve 2022 off-the-plan sale creating continuing intrigue.

Mike Cannon-Brookes hasn’t been known to have bought since April last year, but has not sold either.
He ranked sixth among the billionaire winners of 2023 after a comeback for tech stocks on recently published The List – Australia’s Richest 250 in The Australian newspaper.
The shares in the NASDAQ-listed software business Atlassian surged more than 80 per cent last year, and by last month Cannon-Brookes’s wealth was put as $22.92bn compared to the previous year’s $16.06bn.
Rich 250 editor John Stensholt wrote last December that it remained to be seen what effect the break-up of Cannon-Brookes’s marriage had on their wealth.
