Travers ‘The Candyman’ Beynon Goes Missing Amid Free Choice Empire Questions

Questions surrounding ‘Candyman’ Travers Beynon are beginning to swirl following the tobacco tycoon’s apparent internet exit.

The flamboyant businessman was certainly not shy about sharing glimpses of his lavish lifestyle to social media.

His Instagram account, which enticed a million followers to fawn over posts of luxe parties and high-end living, has been apparently deleted.

It’s the same story for Travers’ Candyshop Mansion website which as been offline since May this year.

His Facebook and TikTok pages are still active, however they have not seen some action in quite some time.

Travers’ last post on Facebook was back in April 2023, while his last TikTok post occurred in  August 2019.

It’s apparently a similar story for the Beynon family tobacco empire with the main Free Choice Tobacco site also currently offline.

While its string of franchise stores are still operating, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported that Free Choice vacated its Gold Coast head office in February, with the space, owned by one of Beynon’s companies, now leased to a new business.  

Daily Mail Australia was unable to contact Travers Beynon and Free Choice Tobacco for comment.

It comes amid what appears to be a period of upheaval for Travers with the playboy recently having another crack at offloading his Candyland mansion.

Travers first listed the property back in 2023 and, at one stage, it had an eye-watering $25million price tag attached

The Gold Coast Bulletin reported in May that Travers had enlisted another agent to give the property the push it needs to get it over the line. 

He had engaged the services agents Ivy Wu and Isaac Kim from Ivy Realty to run an expression of interest campaign for the lavish property.

His Instagram account, which enticed a million followers to fawn over posts of luxe parties and high-end living, has been apparently deleted

Isaac told the publication that his mind was ‘blown’ the first time he set foot in the palatial home.

‘It was actually really mind blowing the first time I was invited to the property,’ he said.

‘It’s got so much detail wherever you look from the hand paintings to the sheer scale of the house.’

Travers originally purchased the property, located in the northern Gold Coast suburb of Helensvale, in 2010.

He later purchased neighbouring land, effectively tripling the footprint of the compound.

The property sits on a substantial 1.4 acres with 175 metres of private water frontage.

The house itself is set across an expansive 2,230 square-metre floorplan and boasts mosaic murals and hand-painted frescos throughout.

It also features an internal lift, imported lighting and 24-carat gold embellishments to further accentuate the grandeur.

A gourmet kitchen features Gaggenau appliances and there is also a wet bar, cellar, soundproof cinema and a grand ballroom complete with an eight-metre ceiling.

It also boasts a whopping 14 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms as well as a state-of-the-art gym, a showroom-style six-car garage and a separate 10-car basement garage.

The grandeur extends to the exterior, too, with the grounds featuring luxurious gardens and an infinity edge pool with 24-carat gold and platinum mosaic tiles and a swim-up bar.

The opulent home, which has hosted many wild parties over the years, sits behind large two-ton crested gates and features a gorgeous sandstone driveway and marble-clad majestic courtyard.

Its highly desirable location is close to a variety of amenities including world renowned Surfers Paradise shopping centres, restaurants and beach.

It comes as Travers welcomed his fifth child, Santiago, back in June last year.

He took to his Instagram Stories to confirm that he and wife of 14 years Taesha had welcomed a baby boy as he shared sweet snaps of the little one.

Welcome to the world son,’ Travers wrote alongside a video of him holding his newborn son’s hand.

Travers also shares two daughters Velicia, 12, and Serafina, 11, with his wife Taesha and has two other children – Valentino, 24, and Luciana, 22 – from his previous marriage to Ninibeth Leal.

Travers’ eldest son Valentino also took to Instagram to gush over the arrival of his baby brother Santiago as he shared an array of sweet snaps of the newborn.
