Real estate investments
She has also made money through Sydney property, reportedly looking at A$18 million mansions in 2024 (realestate.com.au (property news outlet)).
Other income streams
In 2012 she published a novel, Strictly Confidential: A Jazzy Lou Novel (Wikipedia (encyclopedic reference)). She also briefly ran a bedazzling business, later saying she was “too scared” to put her name on it (The Sun (British tabloid)).

Quotes

Jacenko must decide whether to keep building the agency empire or let her husband’s billions shift the emphasis.
