They are now officially in the billionaires’ club and that means a huge house upgrade for Sydney socialite Laura Hazzouri and her mega-wealthy husband Charbel Hazzouri.
Charbel and his cousin Anthony El-Hazzouri recently debuted on The Australian’s Richest 250 list for 2026, joining the ranks as billionaires for the first time with a combined fortune of $2.84billion.
To celebrate the couple have taken on an ambitious new build in Kurraba Point, Sydney – a five-storey mansion with stunning views of the Harbour Bridge.
The couple, who have been together for many years, had been living in a mansion in McMahons Point for more than a decade, before buying the $13.5million Kurraba Point home in 2020.
They have since knocked down the property and are building their dream house: a Luigi Rosselli-designed mansion with a swimming pool, landscaped outdoor areas and multiple living zones.
According to a source, Laura has previously indicated that she and her husband will keep their existing mansion even after making the move to the stunning Kurraba Point mansion.

Stratti Building Company shared an incredible video of the home taking shape on their Instagram page on Thursday.
Several rooms of the breathtaking renovation were featured in the clip, including a massive living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, an all-marble bathroom and a wellness room with a sauna and red-light therapy bed.
Marble features predominantly in the home, with marble floors and walls throughout.
There is a pool which sits on the edge of the Harbour and a private jetty for boat access.
Rear-view renderings of the Kurraba Point project show that the home will also have not one but two balconies on the fourth and fifth floors that feature stunning flower beds.
The Hazzouris’ wealth, built through their property firm Revelop, has been compounding for years.
From a humble start in 2008, the cousins have grown their business into a heavyweight operation spanning more than 80 commercial properties.
Their portfolio stretches across key retail centres in Sydney, as well as major acquisitions in Adelaide and Melbourne, culminating in headline deals like the $122.5million purchase of Lake Macquarie Square.

Their debut on the rich list is the last laugh for the couple after snobs with intergenerational wealth scoffed at Laura’s ‘nouveau riche’ travel diary of her five-star trip to the Maldives earlier this year.
While certain members of the socialite set dismissed Laura’s lifestyle as flashy or gauche – in light of her humble origins in Dubbo, in regional NSW – now the scale of her family’s hard-earned fortune is impossible to ignore.
The infamous video that kickstarted the chatter followed Laura as she got her nails done at a high-end salon before returning to her sprawling home to prepare for business-class travel with her husband and their three sons.
It was the kind of content to inspire envy and admiration in equal measure: two YSL beach totes worth $800 apiece were zipped into protective dust bags, thousands of dollars’ worth of Cartier jewellery was carefully arranged in travel containers, and a Louis Vuitton beauty case valued at roughly $3,000 was highlighted in a close-up.
The family then bundled into a car packed with designer luggage, bound for the airport.
Laura, whose maiden name is Marshall, filmed herself gliding through the terminal with her suitcase and a Goyard tote worth about $3,000, before they all settled into the Qantas Club ahead of take-off.

For some in Sydney’s more refined postcodes, however, the video read less like lifestyle inspiration and more like an embarrassing and unnecessary flex.
‘Her ‘day in the life’ is not real or relatable. You don’t see Deb Symond O’Neil – who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth – sharing videos like that,’ a well-connected society insider said at the time.
Laura’s origins in Dubbo added a compelling social edge to the jealous chatter – proving that the old-fashioned class system is still alive and kicking in the land of the ‘fair go’.
While the specifics of her early years are unclear, she has almost certainly upgraded her lifestyle since meeting her husband Charbel.
