Gold jewellery. . $5000. $10000

Flat Screen Television $1000. $1500

Antique Vase $4000. $3000

All assets were purchased on 1 July 2015 and sold on 30 June

2023. The yacht has been used as his home since it was purchased, and he had nowhere else to live. Because of the pandemic and the shortage of accommodation he was surprised to sell it for more than it cost.
