How did Gavin Rubinstein become successful?
Gavin Rubinstein came from humble beginnings, starting his working career at McDonald’s, which he credits for helping him learn what customer service is all about, he said in an interview with Elite Agent.
His interest in real estate came from the potential he saw to make money without tertiary education.
His recipe for success came through hard work and a tedious daily schedule which includes a 4:45am wake up, 5:30 am gym session, and working until at least 8 pm every night.
Although like everybody he needs a break sometimes, saying to Elite Agent that he finds his work-life balance…
“…By taking four breaks throughout the year, during school holidays as this is when there’s a downturn in my markets cycle.”

Gavin Rubinstein Height
If he’s not known for his ability to close monstrous property deals, Gavin Rubinstein is known for his height, or rather, lack of it. Unofficially dubbed Sydney’s pint-sized property Prince, Gavin Rubinstein is reportedly 5ft 4in tall. This isn’t confirmed, however, as Gavin rarely speaks about it height. But, in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Gavin says this:
“I’m 5′1, maybe 5′2 if I wear boots.”

Outside of real estate, Gavin Rubinstein doesn’t reveal much about his personal life, although, in the same Sydney Morning Herald interview, he does admit to “committing to someone.” He doesn’t reveal his partner’s identity, but he admits he isn’t thinking about marriage or kids until he has “hit certain milestones.”
Gavin Rubinstein Instagram
Gavin Rubinstein can likely attribute some of his success to Instagram. He has previously chosen to use the social media platform as a medium to help advertise properties and, while his personal Instagram feed is relatively thin on content, he uses The Rubinstein Group’s page to effectively advertise properties the group is currently selling, usually in the form of a video.
His most recent post is captioned “Real Estate Diaries,” and features Gavin being followed by a documentary crew while he shows off some of the current properties he’s selling.
What watch does Gavin Rubinstein wear?
Being a multi-millionaire with an image and reputation to uphold, it should come as no surprise to learn that Gavin Rubinstein has himself a rather tasty timepiece on his wrist at all times. Gavin wears a Patek Philippe Nautilus (ref. 5711-R). Patek Philippe has since discontinued the watch, and Gavin revealed to the SMH that he paid $70,000 for it.
Not a bad investment, as the same watch is now fetching anything from $250,000 to $500,000 on global watch marketplace Chrono24.
Gavin Rubinstein Dating History
While Gavin Rubinstein shares a lot about his professional life, often using social media platforms like Instagram to promote his business, he tends to keep his private life… private. As such, we have little official information on Gavin’s romantic interests through the years.
Based on his Facebook, Gavin appears to have been dating someone back in 2014. In one post, he’s seen with an unknown lady on what seemed to be a date. While Gavin hasn’t spoken on his dating history, it appears the two are no longer together.
In 2021, Gavin revealed, to the surprise of many, on Luxe Listings Sydney that he had a big crush on his competitor and co-star on the show, D’Leanne Lewis. However, it is highly doubtful that the real estate hotshots were ever in a romantic relationship. More recently, in 2022, rumours came out that Gavin was secretly dating Alexandra Dankwa. His relationship with the brunette model reportedly ended in 2023, after three years together.
What Is Gavin Rubinstein Doing Now?
Gavin treated himself and the Rubinstein Group to a Las Vegas vacation, where they caught a game featuring basketball legend LeBron James—a well-deserved break after months of sealing major real estate deals.
The reality TV show, Luxe Listing Sydney, starring Gavin Rubinstein, D’Leanne Lewis, and Simon Cohen, kicked off its third season on September 30, 2022. Throughout the season, the trio hustled to score profitable deals for luxury properties in Sydney.
In July 2023, Gavin took a break to explore the stunning rivers of La Maddalena Island, diving into spring’s beauty through swimming and photography.
Towards the end of 2023, the Rubinstein Group shined at the Australia Annual Awards. Gavin clinched the top spot for international principal-settled commission among 5000 competitors, while Oliver Lavers secured the No. 1 spot as NSW/ACT City Salesperson for settled commission from July 2022 to June 2023.
Entering the new year, Gavin stressed the importance of a supportive work environment, dismissing remote work as impractical in real estate. He highlighted the value of experienced leaders and the need for engagement and visibility, advocating for an office space that reflects one’s identity. Moreover, Gavin emphasised investing in training and accountability plans to boost performance and sustain motivation.
Outside the realm of real estate, the Rubinstein Group spread love and warmth on Valentine’s Day and Women’s Day by sharing love cookies, hugs, and kisses with passersby and staff, showcasing their commitment to wholesomeness in both professional and public interactions.
