Lisa Wilkinson’s daughter Billi FitzSimons worked at Domino’s before following in her parents’ footsteps

The daughter of journalist Lisa Wilkinson and former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons, she spent her teenage years at Domino’s before following in her successful parents’ footsteps and working in the media.

While Billi FitzSimons, 25,’s career has only skyrocketed since her time at the pizza joint, her dad revealed that like many teens her age, she worked at the fast food joint for four years.

In response to a tweet, Mr FitzSimons, an author and journalist with The Sydney Morning Herald, revealed his daughter’s first job.

“Billi had an after-school job taking orders at Dominos Pizza for about four years from the age of 14, so she took pocket money as a bonus!” he said.

Mr FitzSimons said his daughter worked at the fast food chain for four years despite he and his wife already having hugely successful careers.

Both of her parents had already built successful careers during her time at Domino’s.

Mr FitzSimons had written a dozen books and played for the Wallabies in seven Tests by the time his young daughter took her first job.

He joined The Sydney Morning Herald full-time in 1989 and went on to write 25 bestsellers.

Wilkinson, meanwhile, had co-hosted The Today Show since 2007, a role she held until 2017, when she quit over a reported dispute over the gender pay gap.

Wilkinson, 61, was making $780,000 a year on a two-year contract when she left the network, according to The Australian.

Meanwhile, her co-host Karl Stefanovic’s three- to five-year contract is said to be worth between $2 million and $3 million a year, depending on the show’s performance.

Despite reports that Wilkinson demanded equal pay with co-host Stefanovic, she claims in her book that she simply asked for a “slightly fairer share of the loot” given the profitability of the Today Show.

Wilkinson then signed with Ten’s The Project for a whopping $1.7 million a year in 2018, before signing another lucrative multi-year contract with the network.

After five years, Wilkinson announced in November last year that she would leave the current affairs program.

However, she remains with Ten for other projects, with years left on an ongoing multi-year contract that was revealed last year.

The former Project host previously lived with her family in a luxury mansion in Mosman

She and her husband, who share three children together, live in a multi-million dollar home in Cremorne overlooking Sydney Harbour, having previously owned a five-bedroom home in Mosman.

Wilkinson also owns a 1970s one-bedroom apartment in Cremorne that overlooks Sydney Harbor with views of both the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House.

The property is rented for $770 per week. The house once belonged to her late mother, Beryl, who reportedly bought it in 1996 for $388,000.

After her mother died in 2018, Wilkinson’s brothers Kyle and Brett sold her their share of the property for $275,000 each.

In addition to her luxury real estate portfolio, Wilkinson also drives a $124,000 Audi A7 Sportback and is a brand ambassador.

She is also pictured driving an Audi A3 convertible, valued at approximately $53,000.

Ms. FitzSimons, meanwhile, has followed in her parents’ journalistic footsteps, having worked as a senior news writer at Mamamia.

She then scored the role of editor of The Daily Aus at the age of 24.

While many questioned whether she was right for the job given her young age, her father was quick to dismiss the criticism.

Her mother became Dolly’s editor at 21 and it went well. In Billi’s case, she is editor of a platform that goes after a crowd her age, in her twenties, and gets them in droves,” he tweeted last March.
