Mike Cannon-Brookes enjoys Sydney date night amid $23 billion divorce battle

Australian tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes was recently photographed on a date night with his girlfriend Amelia Beaumont at Armorica Grande Brasserie in Sydney's Surry Hills. The outing comes as Cannon-Brookes navigates a complex divorce from his ex-wife Annie, with the financial battle over their estimated $23 billion fortune potentially extending into 2027.

The couple appeared to be caught off guard by photographers as they departed the French fine-dining establishment. Ms. Beaumont, a Telstra tech worker, was seen reacting to the presence of cameras. This sighting follows their first public appearance together just over a year ago, when Ms. Beaumont was seen exiting Cannon-Brookes' private jet at Sydney Airport.

For the occasion, Cannon-Brookes wore a grey hoodie and his signature man bun, while Ms. Beaumont chose a purple bodysuit, black blazer, jeans, and strappy heels. The couple had recently returned to Australia after multiple trips to Italy, often traveling on Cannon-Brookes' jet.

The divorce proceedings initiated in 2023, after 12 years of marriage, involve lawyers untangling a significant estate. This includes Cannon-Brookes' holdings in Atlassian, as well as a substantial property portfolio valued at approximately $360 million, part of an estimated $10 billion in shared assets. The former couple reportedly considered a draft settlement several months ago but were unable to agree on final terms.

Cannon-Brookes' asset pool includes high-profile sports investments. He became a co-owner of the NBA's Utah Jazz in 2020, making him the youngest current owner of a U.S. franchise at the time. In 2021, he also acquired a 25% stake in the South Sydney Rabbitohs, an NRL club. Neither Mike Cannon-Brookes nor Annie Cannon-Brookes have publicly commented on their separation or the division of their shared assets.
