Dubbed Australia’s Crypto King, the multi-millionaire celebrated the new year with a wild party at his $17 million oceanfront mansion.
Fred Schebesta, 42, founder of comparison site Finder, which is estimated to be worth around $200 million, celebrated the first day of the year in style, filling his unique home in Sydney’s South Coogee with burlesque dancers and models.
At the pool party honoring his girlfriend Miss B, DJ Shiralee Coleman led a host of acts including fast-paced dance performances by Porcelain Alice and Clara Fable.

Guests sipping champagne at the shindig chose a wide range of fashionable attire.
Some donned racy bikinis and made the most of the luxurious infinity pool.
Others put on colorful summer dresses and soaked up the sun.
While elegant white robes were also very popular with party-goers.
There were some who appeared in all black as a sheik as the men mostly kept it casual in designer jeans and stylish summer shirts.

The AFR Young Rich-lister recently put another luxury home in east Sydney up for sale for $6.5 million after Bitcoin’s price fell more than 50 percent earlier this year.
But Mr Schebesta plans to keep his Coogee Crypto Castle – once owned by businessman John Singleton and used in various films including Eyes Wide Shut – for a while longer
“It would be very, very difficult to find another place that comes close. And I and that’s what I’m looking for – very special qualities. Because I’m a pretty unique guy,” he recently told the Daily Telegraph.
The entrepreneur bought into the digital currency when Bitcoin was in its infancy and brought it massive returns.

In a 2021 interview with TikTok star Fonzie Gomez, he said the eye-catching five-bedroom South Coogee estate was bought with crypto profits.
“You are in the house of cryptography. Crypto built this house,” Mr. Schebesta told Gomez while guiding the TikToker through his 800-square-foot mansion.
The South Coogee home is available to rent on Airbnb for just over $25,000 a night.
