The likely sale valuation of billionaire Harry Triguboff's Meriton Apartments continues to garner interest following confirmation he has been in talks to sell the business to Chinese buyers.

For a long time it was always spoken of as a $6 billion outfit, then a $10 billion price tag was recently bandied about by Harry.

However, the Australian Financial Review's Street Talk column suggested an internal Meriton valuation has the company’s assets at about $7.3 billion.

But they add that advice from Grant Samuel has it closer to the $12 billion based on a multiple of 10 times earnings.
