Candyman's daughter revealed truth of growing up at 'insane' Candy Shop Mansion and defended dad's lifestyle
The daughter of the renowned playboy known as the 'Candyman' has spoken up on his way of life, revealing how it was to grow up in the Candy Shop Mansion.
Tobacco multi-millionaire Travers Beynon is known for owning the wildly successful tobacco franchise known as FREECHOICE, and also for living a lavish lifestyle to the point where he's known as 'Australia's Hugh Hefner'.
He is known to throw massive parties at his 'Candy Shop Mansion', earning the nickname 'The Candyman' from his wife and girlfriends. Yes, that's plural.

The entrepreneur has previously revealed his extensive rules for his numerous girlfriends while living in his luxurious mansion, though him and his wife Taesha have slowly grown out of their hectic lifestyle in the past year or so.
He had previously spoken about how he balances his girlfriends with his wife, as he revealed that they all get along, in part to his family activities that everyone must take part in.
"If you're in as a girlfriend you're part of the family," he began to explain.
"We have a compulsory family dinner on Sunday nights with everyone and we all sit down we fill two large tables and I take everyone's mobile phones and put them in another room."
The Candyman said that everyone is there without fail, and after their meal, they go to the cinema room and watch a movie together. Unorthodox but if it works, it works.
In terms of how it worked in the bedroom, he admitted: "We all sleep in the same bed, and we are sexually all together. It's all together - that's one way of keeping it under control."
But in 2019, the Candyman's now 22-year-old daughter, Lucciana Beynon, spoke out about her upbringing, saying the mansion was a 'normal family home'.
In an interview, she revealed: "Nothing I see is a surprise to me, my dad is very open about what he does, and I accept and love him for who he is."
She has three siblings, and they all live at the infamous $3.7 million (£1.9 million) mansion with their father and his many partners.
However, Lucciana has said that her father is not 'sexist' for his polyamorous lifestyle, saying: "I think it's funny that people accuse him of objectifying women," adding that it's actually the opposite.
She is also supportive of her father's multiple partners and her stepmother Taesha, saying that any relationship is 'acceptable' if it is between consenting adults.
Despite her father's success, Lucciana says that he is 'old fashioned', as he made sure that none of them took money for granted, despite their surroundings.
"Dad was very, very strict with us – more than any other dad I know – with manners, respect, maturity, and hard work, all the things that made us who we are today," she stated.
Lucciana has over 337,000 Instagram followers and has fulfilled her dream of becoming a model, having previously spoken about her ambition to become one when she was younger.
"When I finish school I'll still be 17, so as soon as I turn 18 I'm going to move to America forever," she told the Gold Coast Bulletin in 2017.
"I want to become a Victoria's Secret Angel and then ultimately become a supermodel."
