Karina Irby has scored a sweet real estate deal after selling off a beach flat on Queensland’s holiday coast for a cool $1.45million.
The 35-year-old Moana Bikini brand founder made a whopping $250,000 profit on the sale of the two-bedroom, one-bathroom Gold Coast investment pad.
Bought in 2024 for $1.2 million, the flat is located in the Fletcher Building, a 70s-era apartment block overlooking famed Currumbin Beach.
Irby had leased out the property since the purchase, with the last tenants paying $850 a week.
Ideally situated a stone’s throw from the beach, the property offers an open-plan layout and features a covered balcony and ocean views.
Other highlights include a downstairs storage/studio space.

OnlyFans model Irby made headlines back in April 2024, soon after purchasing the flat, when she joked she had ‘accidentally’ snapped up the property.
Celebrating the news with Instagram followers at the time, Irby angered one follower with her lighthearted jest.
The online critic claimed it was not ‘legally possible’ to buy a home by accident.
Others joined in the pile-on, saying that the entrepreneur was being insensitive, given how many young people are struggling to scrape together a deposit for their first home.
‘I might have accidentally-kind-of-on-purpose bought an investment property!’ Irby said in a video she shared with followers after sealing the deal on the flat.
‘And I can quite literally see it from my bed. Oh, my god… Do you see that?
‘I just kind of bought it… God, now I have two mortgages. Am I the worst at adulting?
‘If it was a massive risk I’m sure my accountant would have said don’t buy it. I don’t even remember what the repayments were.’

If Irby was expecting her followers to be happy for her, she was in for a shock, with many slamming the tone of her video amid a deepening cost-of-living crisis.
‘Imagine being so rich you ‘accidentally’ buy an investment property?’ one said.
‘Most people are struggling and barely able to afford rent, petrol and food,’ one person wrote. ‘Not a very tasteful video in these current times, Karina.’
‘Please don’t make videos like this when people are struggling to keep a roof over their head and feed their children,’ a second agreed.
One follower who described herself as a ‘fellow investor’ said it was ‘entirely false to pretend that you didn’t make this purchase with significant deliberation’.
‘It’s legally not possible,’ they added.Â
