Former Domino’s chief executive and managing director Don Meij has put his superb Brisbane penthouse on the market.
The 56-year-old has not listed a price for the four-bedroom, four-bathroom pad he bought for a whopping $12.95 million in 2023 – but is instead seeking ‘best offers’.
Located at the top of the luxurious high-rise development ‘Luminare’ in Newstead, a mere 3km from the CBD, the beautiful 588 square-metre abode boasts a private pool, gym and sauna.
Meij, who stepped down from his CEO role with Domino’s in 2024, is relocating to Dallas, Texas, in the US to start a new ‘food-related’ business.
Meij said that he and his wife Jenny were reluctant to sell, but they could not see themselves spending much time in Australia after the move.
‘We did think about keeping it, but when you’re going to be living overseas 48 to 50 weeks of the year. … it seems silly,’ he told the Courier Mail.

Built close to the banks of the Brisbane River, the Luminare building offers resort-style amenities including a steam room, BBQ space and a meeting room that can also host dinner parties.
Positioned on the top of 25 floors, Meij’s apartment offers amazing views of the city skyline and surrounding hinterland.
Designed to make the most of its high-rise vantage point, the property features floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and a spacious open-plan layout.
Highlights include a balcony and pool area off the main living space, while the main bedroom features a huge walk-in dressing room and wardrobe.
There’s a rumpus room, pool table, wet bar and a private office.
The ultra-modern kitchen is another highlight, and features a butler’s pantry, stone benchtops and breakfast island.
Meij began his career in the pizza business as a delivery driver in 1987, working his way through the ranks to head Domino’s operations in Australia.
In May 2005, Meij led Domino’s to become Australia’s first publicly listed pizza chain on the Australian Stock Exchange.

He celebrated 30 years with the company in 2017.
In November last year, he announced his resignation after almost 40 years.
Meij said the decision was not easy, but it was the right time for the company.
‘Domino’s really has been my life,’ he said.
‘When I started as a delivery driver in Redcliffe, Queensland, I never imagined I’d become CEO of a truly global company with more than $4billion in sales.
‘I leave knowing that the business is well positioned for an exciting new chapter.’
Domino’s had 387 stores and $300million in sales when it listed on the ASX in 2005. It now has 3700 stores and about $4billion in sales.
