He has been compared to Hugh Hefner and Dan Bilzerian, but tobacco tycoon Travers ‘Candyman’ Beynon’s outrageous house parties are fast making him a legend in his own right.
Hot on the heels of last year’s hedonistic $500K ‘party of a lifetime’ at his palatial property in Helensvale on the Gold Coast, Candyman hosted a risque Freaks Unleashed house party at the same location on Saturday night.
The Candyshop Mansion – Beynon’s multi-million dollar waterfront home – opened its doors to hundreds of scantily-clad guests, all hand-picked by Candyman himself.
Candyman, who owns FreeChoice Australia, provided food, drinks and entertainment free of charge, but prospective partygoers had to send a photo and fill out a questionnaire asking about their ‘freakiest traits’.
Once inside the grounds of the sprawling home revellers were treated to a fireworks display as a topless DJ provided beats and Candyman himself arrived on a speedboat wearing a bizarre black outfit.
