    Everyone is trying to be Kerry Packer...


    “You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I've had mine,” said Packer.


    In 1987 Packer made a fortune at the expense of disgraced tycoon Alan Bond. It was widely reported that he sold Bond the Nine Network at the record price of A$1.05 billion in 1987, and then bought it back three years later for a mere A$250 million, when Bond's empire was collapsing.

    Packer later quipped; "You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I've had mine".[5] Packer was then able to re-invest the proceeds in a 25% share in the Foxtel pay TV consortium.
