Singleton has been married seven times and also had a girlfriend for a long time.

According to Gerald Stone's aptly titled biography Shingo: Companions, Wife, Triumphs, Disasters, Margaret Wall was a teenager at a Saturday night church dance in Ashfield in 1958. It started from the moment they met.

The couple, who married in 1964 when he was 23 and she two years younger, spent $41,000 on Paddington in 1972.

Shingo sold his half of the shares in 1994, and Margaret continued to keep the house on Cascade Street until her death in 2015. Their son Jack Singleton secured the $3.5 million sale last year.

Perhaps the most tumultuous of his many marital property disputes occurred after his 1976 marriage to his second wife, international model Maggie Eckardt.

Headlines shortly before their separation in 1981 saw the couple give up their 70sq m restored colonial grandeur in Romana's Beecroft mansion, built in 1877, and buy a 6sq m houseboat in Pearl Bay. He indicated that he intended to live there.

“It's valuable as a rowboat, but very cheap for harbor frontage,” Shingo said of the $125,000 purchase.

During their nine-year relationship, they lived in Paddington, Rose Bay, Bondi Junction, back to Paddington, then Beecroft, a farm in Armidale and a beach cabin on the south coast.

His second wife, Belinda Green, was crowned Miss World in 1972 and they lived at Princes Farm, Hawkesbury, until their separation in 1987.

“Belinda said she wanted a divorce over Christmas, but I wasn't going to spend that much money,” he said.

But, as he once admitted, “There are only two ways a marriage can end: divorce or death…I prefer divorce.”

According to PropTrack, the median home price in Killcare Heights is $2 million.
