While James has to some extent followed in his father's footsteps, taking over parts of the family business and his own money-making pursuits, Gretel has joined the Packer women's tradition of supporting the arts and the family's philanthropic interests.
Launching a $200 million philanthropic fund last year for indigenous education and community welfare and the arts, the Packer Family Foundation's diminutive chairwoman gave a rare speech and interview.
'Philanthropy has always been a part of our life — sometimes private, sometimes public, but always there,' she told the audience, going on to thank her mother Ros and late father for their 'philanthropic legacy' she hoped to build on.
As well as being the 'driving force' behind the generous National Philanthropic Fund, according to her brother, she sits on the board of the Packer-controlled Crown Resorts Foundation.
She is a trustee of the Sydney Theatre Company Foundation, a patron of the Taronga Zoo Foundation and a board member of the Art Gallery of NSW.

Though her interests are varied, art is where Gretel's passion lies, as she told the Herald Sun recently.
'The arts can bring forth wonderful experiences that you don't get elsewhere,' she said.
'I love performing art, I love music, I love visual art. I have a busy life so it's not every day, but I see it when I can.'
While her professional life is indeed busy, as part of one of the country's most high profile families, Gretel has kept her private life impressively private.
