Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness are facing the division of their vast assets as their nearly three-decade relationship comes to an end. Furness, 69, officially filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, on May 23, following their announcement of the separation in 2023. The couple is currently in the process of finalizing their settlement, which is estimated to be worth nearly $400 million.
Throughout their marriage, Jackman and Furness acquired properties across the globe, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, and their native Australia. Their real estate portfolio boasts luxurious homes such as a two-story apartment in New York City’s Chelsea neighbourhood, a penthouse overlooking Bondi Beach in Sydney, and a waterfront residence in the Hamptons.
The couple’s New York City penthouse, which they purchased for approximately $21 million in 2022, features 5,000 square feet spread across two floors, along with 3,700 square feet of outdoor space. Situated near the Hudson River in a building designed by a renowned architect, the property offers ultimate luxury living in the bustling city. Jackman has been spending a significant amount of time in New York recently, managing his commitments on stage in an Off-Broadway show and a concert series at Radio City Music Hall.
Their Bondi Beach hideaway in Sydney is a modern condo overlooking the iconic beach, which they acquired for around $6 million in 2016. Jackman frequently enjoys the property’s stunning seaside views, and the couple has a history of investing in various homes in Sydney, where their love story first began in the mid-’90s.
In the Hamptons, Jackman and Furness built a custom retreat on a 2.5-acre waterfront plot after purchasing it for $3.5 million in 2015. The property features three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a guest house, and access to a private beach. Although the couple once considered it their dream home, they listed the house for rent in 2023 as they embarked on their separation journey.
Reports indicate that Jackman and Furness also acquired a pied-à-terre in London in 2021, and a three-story penthouse in the West Village of New York City, which they purchased in 2008. The status of these properties remains uncertain, as the couple navigates their divorce proceedings and asset division.
As they finalise the dissolution of their marriage, Jackman and Furness are set to part ways with their impressive real estate holdings, each property holding memories of a shared life now coming to an end. Despite the challenges and changes ahead, their story of love, success, and property investment will continue to captivate onlookers.
