The daughter of the famous playboy known as “Candyman” has opened up about his life growing up in a candy shop mansion.
Tobacco billionaire Travers Beynon is known for owning a hugely successful cigarette franchise known as FREECHOICE, and is also known for living such a lavish lifestyle that he has been dubbed the “Australian Hugh Hefner”.
He is known for throwing massive parties at his “Candy Shop Mansion,” which has earned him the nickname “The Candymen” from his wives and girlfriends. Yes, plural.
The entrepreneur previously revealed the long list of rules he imposes on his many female friends whilst living in a lavish mansion, but he and wife Tesha have been slowly emerging from their hectic lifestyle over the past year or so.
He previously spoke about how he balances his wife and female friends, revealing that they all get along well thanks to family activities that everyone has to take part in.
“Even if you come in as a lover, you're still part of the family,” he began to explain.
“We have a rule that on Sunday nights we have dinner together as a family, we all sit around two big tables and I keep everyone's phones in another room.”
Candyman said that they would make sure everyone was there and that after the meal they would go to the movie room and watch a movie together. It was unconventional, but if it works, it works.
As for what happens in the bedroom, he admitted: “We all sleep in the same bed, we all have sex together. We're all together. It's a way of keeping control.”

But in 2019, Candyman's daughter, Luciana Beynon, now 22, spoke about her own upbringing, saying the mansion was a “normal family home”.
In an interview, she revealed: “Nothing I see is a surprise to me. My dad is very open about what he does and I accept and love him just the way he is.”
She has three siblings, all of whom live with their father and his many partners in the infamous $3.7 million (£1.9 million) mansion.
However, Luciana said her father's polyamorous lifestyle was not “sexist”, saying: “I think it's crazy when people accuse him of objectifying women”, adding that in fact it's the opposite.
She also supports her father's multiple partners and her stepmother Tesha, saying any relationship between consenting adults is “acceptable.”

Although her father was successful, Luciana describes him as “old-fashioned” because he made sure no one took money for granted, regardless of their circumstances.
“My dad was more strict with us than any other father I've ever known — etiquette, respect, maturity, hard work. All of that shaped who we are today,” she said.
Luciana has over 337,000 followers on Instagram and has spoken about her desire to become a model at a young age, which she has now achieved.
“I'll only be 17 when I leave school so when I turn 18 I plan to move to the US permanently,” she told the Gold Coast Bulletin in 2017.
“I want to be a Victoria's Secret Angel and eventually a supermodel.”
