About Me

James Packer was the largest shareholder of Crown Resorts, which owns casinos in Australia and London. He took over the empire of his late father, Kerry. Packer stepped down from Crown Resorts' board in March 2018. Four months later, he resigned from the board of his family company, Consolidated Press. Packer's board exits were reportedly due to mental health issues, following a tough year when Crown exited its Macau and U.S. gambling investments. Packer settled with his older sister Gretel in 2015, agreeing to a division of assets 10 years after their late father's death. Packer has teamed up with American actor Robert De Niro to build a $500 million resort in Barbuda, aiming to open in early 2026.
