The focus tends to be on her hospitality industry tsar brother Justin, but Bettina Hemmes, who also works in the family business, has quietly secured a Palm Beach weekender.
No price details have yet emerged, but the 1930s-built Pacific Rd hillside home is likely to have sold for just shy of its envisaged $7 million target after being passed in on a $6.5 million vendor bid.
The rustic property, which still has the electric Kooka in the kitchen, has only had four owners in the past 100 years.

Palm Beach’s median house price sat at $5.7 million last year after 59 sales, according to realestate.com.au.
Last year Justin sold a property at Morning Bay on nearby Pittwater for $5.5 million.
Sightings of his Cessna Grand Caravan sea plane have been few and far between, with Hemmes’ emphasis being on his burgeoning far south coast expansion.
