He made his name with the catchphrase ‘We’ll save ya’, but by next weekend Aussie Home Loan boss John Symond may be better known for his extravagant party-throwing antics.
Mr Symond, who turns 70 this month, will be jetting to luxurious Monte Carlo on Friday for a four-day birthday spectacular on his 75-metre superyacht dubbed ‘The Grand Voyage’.
Sydney developer John Boyd and hospitality baron Justin Hemmes are expected to be among the 200 star-studded guests on board who are already describing the feat as ‘the party of the decade,’ reports the Daily Telegraph.

While the $100 million dollar yacht (pictured) will be available for playtime everyday, guests will be spending their evenings in the five-star celebrity favoured Hotel Hermitage where room prices range from $600 to $45,000

Kim Kardashian, Prince William and F1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone are also fans of the hotel.
Guests will be ferried from the hotel to ‘Hasna’ the mega-yacht each day – which was a birthday gift to Mr Symond from himself.

The yacht boasts an eight-metre swimming pool with waterfall, a three-metre jacuzzi and a ‘beach club’, where many of the birthday festivities are expected to be held.
And to ensure his gift is the centrepiece the Australian millionaire has asked all other guests with superyachts to use the designated accommodation rather than moor next to his boat.
In total it’s expected the high-flying banker will spend upwards of $7 million on the lavish affair.

Mr Symond will be moving to London with his wife Amber McDonald, 45, at the end of this year after selling his $60 million Point Piper mansion in 2016.
The couple were married in an opulent affair in the mansion’s palatial backyard last year surrounded by their four children from two previous marriages.
They chose to celebrate their honeymoon at home.
