Anthony Pratt held what has been called a 'backyard party' at his mansion – but he did it in style.
The billionaire Aussie businessman, who has been dubbed Melbourne's richest man, called in some A-list entertainment for the shindig this weekend, enlisting to belt out a performance for the big-name attendees.
The likes of Today Show host and Prime Minister were among the 250 esteemed guests seen streaming into Pratt's home on Saturday.
Also seen making their way inside were Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and Deputy Premier of Victoria Ben Carroll.
The Pratt Industries and Visy chairman began the party with cocktails and a sit-down gourmet dinner at his expansive abode, which is named Raheen.
The heritage-listed mansion is located in Kew and believed to be worth at least $100 million.

Guests partied into the night with pop princess Kylie belting out an hour-long set of her biggest hits.
The Aussie superstar was reportedly paid a cool $3 million for the cosy, private gig, performing an hour-long set in the backyard of the mansion.
Kylie, 57, sang some of her most iconic tunes, including her earliest singles like The Loco-Motion, Better the Devil You Know and Especially For You.
Also on the setlist were Can't Get You Out of My Head, Spinning Around, On a Night Like This and recent chart-topper, Padam Padam.
Before launching into Especially For You, Kylie said the song, which was originally a duet with her Neighbours co-star and former boyfriend Jason Donovan, left her feeling a little 'nostalgic'.
'Like driving my Datsun to Nunawading,' she said from the stage, referring to the location of the studio where she once filmed the soap.
