IT'S a cruel world for the rich and famous sometimes - just ask Brandon Davis, the trust fund kid dating Cronulla model Cheyenne Tozzi. Jetting into Sydney early on Saturday, the grandson of American oil magnate Marvin Davis and former conquest of Paris Hilton is understood to have been unceremoniously detained by Customs officials for having too much money on him. Loaded with US dollars, the 28-year-old was delayed for more than two hours, while his pin-up girlfriend became increasingly agitated while waiting in the arrivals area. "She was pacing around the whole time, with her mobile phone at her ear, trying to look anonymous," a witness told The Daily Telegraph.
"With her sunglasses on inside, everyone was looking at her." A Customs spokesman declined to comment on individual passenger details for privacy reasons yesterday, but said travellers were required to declare if they were carrying more than $10,000 or the equivalent in foreign currency. Davis, who began dating the younger of the two Tozzi sisters last year, was finally allowed through to meet a waiting car and driver about 10.30am, after arriving on an 8am flight from the US. By that time, Tozzi had been collected by friends in another vehicle, leaving her wealthy beau behind. Sources said Davis then drove straight to Kings Cross where it's believed he cleaned out one exchange bureau of Aussie dollars, before moving on to another. The couple were reunited later at his Park Hyatt suite, before joining Cheyenne's sister Tahyna and her boyfriend, Bra Boy Koby Abberton and friends at the Blue Room nightclub at Darlinghurst on Saturday night. Davis and his Shire babe caused a sensation when they began dating, while she was still linked to Australian surf champion, Taj Burrow. The wave rider described seeing photos of the pair cavorting in the waters off Miami beach last July as "the worst moment of my life" and effectively ended his long-term relationship with the Sydney model.
