A Sydney beauty entrepreneur locked in an ugly court dispute with one of Australia’s richest men, tech founder Richard White, has claimed he expected her to enter into a sexual relationship in exchange for investing in her business.
But Rogan claimed White’s girlfriend, former criminal defence lawyer Zena Nasser, found out about the clandestine relationship in October 2022, and she never moved into the Vaucluse home. NasserIt was Nasser who introduced the pair, Rogan claimed. She said Nasser contacted her via Instagram in June 2022.
“At the meeting Zena Facetimed Richard White, who I understood to be her partner and introduced me to Richard over Facetime,” Rogan said in her affidavit dated September 12.“In August 2022, Zena invited me to dinner with Richard and herself at Bambini Trust. During dinner Richard said words to me to the effect of, ‘I’m an entrepreneur. I have a company, WiseTech. I’m a billionaire.’”“When I met Richard, I genuinely believed he was interested in investing in my business.
Rogan said in the affidavit that she separated from her husband in 2017, but they remained living together to raise their children and had not separated their marital assets. “I will own the property, and you would pay rent from the salary from the newly formed company which would own Bionik Wellness. Your salary would be at least $1 million a year in order to cover the market rent and all the distributions from the business.”The allegations in Rogan’s affidavit have not yet been tested in court.’s 2024 Rich List. He was ranked 11, ahead of Seven’s Kerry Stokes . Most of his wealth comes from WiseTech Global, which he co-founded in 1994.
