BetEasy co-founders offer $16m-plus Melbourne home
Ciara Griffiths, the wife of BetEasy co-founder Grant, who died in July, is selling a glamorous Toorak family home.
In Bromley Court, off Albany Road, opposite John Gandel’s Bedford mansion – between $16-$17 million is expected.
The pair paid mining executive Bryan Frost and his wife, Janice, $2.6m, in 2002.
Major renovations and extensions were undertaken two years later and in 2007.
BetEasy was rebranded CrownBet between 2015-2018.
Four years ago, the company was taken over by Sportsbet, a move which reaped the Griffiths’ $95.4m.

On 1225 square metres, the Griffiths dwelling contains five bedrooms, separate office and den, a billiards room with a bar, cellar and standalone gym (story continues below).
Marshall White’s Marcus Chiminello and Mandy Zhu are the agents.
The campaign comes as the Beville family, of jeweller fame, listed a family home on 1620 sqm in nearby Whernside Avenue, with $23-$25m price hopes.
Also in the pocket this year, Rosie Lew, the ex-wife of businessman Solomon, is speculated to be paying $11.5m for a modest home on 795 sqm abutting her landmark Whernside mansion.
Asia based buyers meanwhile, picked up adjoining properties Little Milton, at 26 Albany Road, for $28m, and 1 Whernside Ave, from the Alfasi family ($33.5m).
Barbara Walker, the wife of late lord mayor and businessman Ron, sold in the area too – #55-57 Albany Rd fetched a rumoured $50m-plus in June.
