Miki Hendler and her husband, Elliot Solomon, have settled on a $20,575,000 Vaucluse mansion, with the title placed in Hendler’s name and the purchase financed by an ANZ Bank mortgage. The sale of the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home, which includes a pool, was confirmed in settlement documents last week.
The deal puts a price tag on a harbourside house that had already drawn attention when it was sold last June. Set on 900 square metres near Vaucluse and Rose Bay villages and Nielsen Park, it sits among some of Sydney’s most coveted real estate and was sold through Paul Biller and Ben Torban of Biller Property. Biller described it as one of his favourite homes and “a perfect family home in one of Vaucluse’s best streets.”
What makes the purchase stand out is not just the number on the contract but the way it was financed. Hendler is the granddaughter of Harry Triguboff, whose estimated wealth is $32.28 billion and who held onto the top spot on The Australian Financial Review’s 2026 Rich List, yet the Vaucluse home is not an all-cash buy. The mortgage sits with ANZ Bank, the same lender attached to another property in the couple’s portfolio, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom Meriton home in Bondi Beach that records show Hendler bought for $3.73 million in 2020.
That Bondi Beach property was last listed as a rental at $1250 a week in January 2021, adding another layer to a family property trail that has been moving for years. Hendler previously worked in the family business, while Solomon is chief executive of Solotel, the hospitality group behind North Bondi Fish, Aria, Chiswick and Chophouse. Their new Vaucluse address is also close to Triguboff’s almost 6000-square-metre landholding and near the almost 3000-square-metre property owned by Sharon Hendler and Gary Hendler, whom records show bought their nearby home for $6 million in 1997.
The house itself carries its own history. Christopher Kalowski and Vivian Kalowski bought it for $1.625 million in 1988, after Kalowski spent decades in women’s fashion manufacturing and later made a failed run at property development. For Hendler and Solomon, the immediate question is not the sale history but the loan: settlement has made the purchase public, but the mortgage terms have not. That leaves the financing, not the price, as the detail still hidden behind the deal.
