The sale of a $9.5 million property in the Byron Bay hinterland has fallen over, and residents are sure there’s only one real estate baron who could afford to walk away.

Under fire in the United States, Airwallex has brought in former attorney-general Bill Barr to lobby the Department of Justice and other officials in Washington, DC.

Police are pursuing charges against the media mogul without the co-operation of his wife.

Local authorities have approved media proprietor Antony Catalano’s next big-ticket project in Byron Bay as the businessman returns to court facing charges of violently assaulting his wife.

Wood battled two separate court cases against partners involved in founding and building the fitness platform that made him a millionaire.

The house, which has a tennis court and a pool, has been empty since Snezana and Sam Wood purchased the property nine months ago.

From the outside looking in, fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood’s life looked like he had it all. His world came crashing down last week after an incident in Noosa involving his wife and step-daughter that has shattered the illusion of the family’s perfect life.

The billionaire has made one of Australia’s largest ever donations by a living person to a foundation to fund projects for the advancement of children, First Nations people and women.

Days before his arrest, the fitness guru was strolling Noosa’s Hastings Street. Now his legal team is fighting for his freedom, as he finds himself abandoned by one-time corporate partners.

Celebrities who once endorsed Wood’s fitness empire have begun distancing themselves from the entrepreneur as he vows to contest domestic violence charges in Queensland.
