Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness‘s divorce comes with a bevy of impressive assets that will be divided up among the spouses of nearly three decades.
Furness, 69, officially filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, on May 23, nearly two years after they first announced their split in 2023. As of Friday, May 30, the pair are awaiting a judge’s signoff to finalize their nearly $400 million settlement.
Throughout their marriage, the former couple occupied properties around the world, including in the U.S., U.K. and their native Australia.
At present, their high-ticket homes include a two-story apartment in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, a penthouse overlooking Bondi Beach in Sydney and a waterfront home in the Hamptons.

New York City Penthouse
Jackman and Furness purchased their impressive downtown Manhattan abode for about $21 million in 2022, just a year before announcing their split, according to Architectural Digest. The penthouse apartment comes in at nearly 5,000 square feet spread across two floors, plus another 3,700 square feet of outdoor space — the ultimate N.Y.C luxury. It’s located near the Hudson River in a starchitect-designed building in an area that is well known for its eye-catching facades and famous tenants.
Recently Jackman has been spending much of his time in New York, where he is currently juggling two gigs on stage, starring in an Off-Broadway show, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, and a concert series at Radio City Music Hall, called From New York, With Love.

Bondi Beach Hideaway
Jackman and Furness have bought, sold and rented numerous apartments and homes around Sydney since they first met on the set of an Australian TV series in 1995 and married the following year. Their most recent acquisition appears to be an ultra-modern condo overlooking the city’s famous Bondi Beach. They paid a reported $6 million for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom spread in 2016, per AD.
Jackman is regularly spotted making the most of the property’s stunning seaside setting. In December 2024, he was photographed after having taken a summer dip in the ocean wearing a pair of blue-and-white patterned drawstring board shorts. Long before buying their current house, Jackman, Furness and their two children, son Oscar and daughter Ava, were already regular visitors to the world-famous stretch of sand.

Hamptons Beach House
The one home the former couple shared with the world is their modernist Hamptons hideaway, which was published in an AD feature in November 2021. Jackman and Furness purchased an empty 2.5-acre waterfront plot for $3.5 million in 2015 and spent the next six years building a custom Long Island retreat with three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a guest house and access to a private beach. Furness called the place her “dream home,“ sharing, “It’s like, bucket list, tick it off. I’ve done it, and I loved it.”
Jackman also praised his then-wife’s decorating prowess. “Because of Deb’s design, it brings us all together,” he told the outlet.
Still, in 2023, the same year they announced their separation, they chose to list the house for rent for the entire summer, rather than use it themselves. The asking price was $166,000 per month, the New York Post reported at the time.

And More
They reportedly picked up an impressive London pied-a-terre in 2021, according to the Post, though at the time the property was not even complete, and it’s not known whether they moved in.
