The Packer dynasty traces its roots to Gretel's grandfather, Sir Frank Packer, who laid the foundation for the media empire in by founding Australian Consolidated Press and launching in 1933, which became one of the country's most successful publications. Sir Frank's ventures expanded into newspapers and broadcasting, creating a powerhouse that Kerry later dominated. The family's legacy as one of Australia's wealthiest dynasties was profoundly shaped by Kerry's death from on December 26, 2005, which triggered prolonged inheritance disputes among his heirs, ultimately resolved a decade later.

Siblings and upbringing

Gretel Packer, born in August 1965 in , is the eldest child of media magnate and philanthropist . Her only sibling is her younger brother, , born in September 1967, who would go on to become a prominent businessman leading the family's media and gaming enterprises. The siblings grew up in a close-knit family environment marked by the privileges of immense wealth, though public details about their personal interactions remain limited due to the Packers' emphasis on privacy. The Packer family resided in the affluent eastern suburbs of , primarily at their historic Bellevue Hill estate, Cairnton, where Gretel experienced a childhood immersed in luxury but also intense media attention owing to her father's high-profile status. She attended Ascham School, a prestigious private girls' in the nearby suburb of Edgecliff, which provided an elite education typical of Sydney's social upper echelons. Family life was shaped by Kerry Packer's dynamic and risk-taking personality, including his well-documented passion for and bold business ventures, which exposed the children to both opulence and the pressures of public scrutiny from a young age. In contrast, instilled values of giving back through her longstanding commitment to , influencing the family's approach to social responsibility. Gretel's upbringing also reflected the era's gender expectations within the Packer household, where Kerry reportedly viewed roles as unsuitable for women, positioning James as the primary heir. Despite this, she developed an early interest in , aspiring to become an and briefly pursuing craft training alongside her brother, though her father intervened to halt these ambitions. This passion was nurtured by the family's deep ties to Sydney's cultural and social elite, fostering her lifelong engagement with artistic endeavors.

Career and investments

Involvement in family enterprises

Gretel Packer gained early exposure to her family's media and gaming empire during her youth in the 1980s and 1990s, primarily through informal involvement in operational aspects of the business. After completing her education at Ascham School, she began training at Ansett Airlines, where she worked on economy-class catering preparations, before transitioning to the family's publishing arm, Australian Consolidated Press (ACP). At ACP, Packer spent four years under the mentorship of editor , contributing to magazine operations including at , where she was described as friendly and well-regarded by colleagues. This period provided her with foundational insights into the publishing sector, though her role remained non-executive and hands-on rather than strategic. Following her father Kerry Packer's death in December 2005, Gretel participated in initial family governance discussions concerning and , entities central to the family's interests in media, , and . She held minority stakes in both but consistently avoided executive positions, never serving as a director of or engaging directly in CPH's operational dealings. This approach contrasted with her brother James Packer's prominent leadership, including his role as executive chairman of until his resignation in 2015. Gretel's preference for a low-profile stance allowed James to steer the high-visibility aspects of the enterprises while she focused on oversight through family mechanisms. In the early 2000s, particularly after returning to in 2001 following personal challenges abroad, Packer took on advisory roles within family trusts overseeing media and publishing assets. She underwent business training under PBL director Ashok Jakob, gaining exposure to strategic decision-making in the (PBL) structure, which encompassed key holdings like the and ACP. These roles emphasized guidance on rather than day-to-day operations, aligning with her limited direct involvement. By the late , amid further changes including a second in 2007, Packer transitioned away from in the enterprises, prioritizing other pursuits over ongoing operational ties. This shift culminated in the 2015 settlement with James, which resolved her stakes in CPH and related assets.

Wealth settlement and portfolio

Following the death of their father, Kerry Packer, in 2005, Gretel Packer and her brother James engaged in prolonged and acrimonious negotiations over the division of the family estate. These disputes, marked by legal tensions and personal strain, lasted nearly a decade before culminating in a confidential settlement in October 2015, under which Gretel received approximately A$1.25 billion from James. The settlement's composition included a mix of cash, preference shares in the family company Consolidated Press Holdings (CPH)—which encompasses media and property interests—and a parcel of approximately 8.6 million shares in valued at around A$100 million at the time. This allocation provided Gretel with direct stakes in key family-linked assets while allowing her to establish from ongoing operational involvement in the Packer enterprises. Post-settlement, Gretel adopted a passive , overseeing a diversified portfolio through her that spans , public equities, and opportunities. Her approach emphasizes long-term stability over , with investments including high-profile acquisitions in Sydney's premium suburbs and stakes in funds like Caledonia Investments for broader equity exposure. Recent acquisitions include a $60 million deceased estate in Sydney's Bellevue Hill in October 2025 to expand her compound. Among her key post-settlement assets are retained interests in , even as James progressively divested his holdings, alongside non-public ventures such as a significant stake in property funds manager Aliro Group.

Marriages and relationships

Gretel Packer's first marriage was to British financier Nick Barham in 1991, with whom she had two children, Francesca and Benjamin, during their union. The couple divorced in 1999, a separation handled discreetly without any public family statement, coinciding with ongoing transitions in the Packer family wealth under her father Kerry Packer's oversight. In late 2005, Packer married Shane Murray, a adviser she had met in an coffee shop, shortly after her father's death; the union produced a third child, William. The marriage dissolved quickly, with separation after about one year and formal divorce in 2008, attributed to personal differences and marked by Kerry Packer's prior disapproval, which led to a .

Children and privacy

Gretel Packer has three children: two from her first marriage, born in the mid-1990s, and one from her second marriage, born around 2006. To protect their privacy, Packer has limited public details about their lives, though their names—Francesca, Benjamin, and —are known. In raising her children amid significant family wealth, Packer has emphasized private education and minimal public visibility, enrolling them in elite institutions such as Ascham School for girls and Cranbrook School for boys. Her parenting style, described as firm yet kind, includes enforcing healthy habits like vegetable consumption and restricting television to one hour weekly, fostering a grounded environment despite their affluent circumstances. Packer's strategies for maintaining family privacy include shielding her children from media attention by confining family activities to a discreet 10-square-kilometer area in Sydney's eastern suburbs and avoiding their presence at public events. In October 2025, she expanded this private area by purchasing a $60 million property in . She has expressed appreciation for the media's general respect for this boundary, noting that it has allowed her children to grow up with relative seclusion, particularly important for her younger son.

This represents a significant increase from the approximately A$1.2 billion settlement she received in 2015 following the division of her late father Kerry Packer's estate with her brother James. Her wealth has been bolstered by strategic holdings, positioning her as Australia's 41st-richest individual on the 2025 list of the country's 50 wealthiest people. Historical estimates highlight steady appreciation; for instance, valued her fortune at US$1.6 billion in 2019, when she ranked 26th among Australia's richest. More recent assessments, such as the Australian Financial Review's 2025 Rich List, assessed her wealth at A$2.33 billion as of May 2025, underscoring her status among the nation's top 60 richest despite market variations. In recognition of her philanthropic contributions, Packer was appointed a Member of the (AM) in the 2020 Queen's for significant service to the visual and . She has received commendations for her leadership roles, including as vice-president of the of Board of Trustees and a foundation director of the , where her support has been highlighted in institutional acknowledgments for advancing cultural initiatives.
