Carlie Ziri
Founder and Director of Lifestyle Property Agency and Pink Candy Accessories
My career started at the tender age of just 18 months old. I was cast in a TV commercial to model baby knickers for Rio Underwear.
By the time I was six I was the face of Cottee’s Cordial – the Cottee’s Kid. It’s something I am yet to live down. Over the years, I have heard about 20 versions of the iconic ‘80s jingle: “My dad picks the fruit…”
I did hundreds of jobs in the Australian entertainment industry, which carried me through to my teens. I had some amazing experiences during this time and my trademark blonde locks and blue eyes were broadcast on everything from local TV shows, magazines, movies and commercials.
When I turned 16, I decided that stardom was not for me. I thought I was ready to take on the world and a year later I finished school to build my empire. I focused on building my career in the Sydney real estate market.
