The publication believes that the casino mogul has been working out with a personal trainer who's pushed him to train for the past three months, sometimes twice a day, resulting in his rapid weight loss.

Proving he is taking his training seriously, it is thought that James brought his trainer, Damien Chapman, with him on his latest Mediterranean jaunt.

And it seems James' new strict healthy lifestyle is starting to pay off for the businessman.

On Wednesday Australia's fourth richest man stepped out in London looking slimmer than ever, sporting a baggy stripped sweater on top of a pair of dark denim jeans.

The blue and white top hung from James' shoulders, flattering his frame.

Four years ago the billionaire lost a whopping 35 kilograms after undergoing lap band surgery, which costs an estimate of $5000.

According to Lap Band Australia, it is a silicone band that is placed around the upper part of your stomach which erases the thought of feeling hungry forcing individuals to eat less. 

A new and improved figure isn't the only thing James has been flaunting as of late.

It wouldn't be the first walk down the aisle for Kerry Packer's son, who has previously said 'I do' to Australian models, Jodhi Meares and Erica Baxter, now Packer.

He split from Erica in 2013 after six years if marriage. The pair share three children together, Indigo, six, Jackson, four, and two-year-old Emmanuelle.
