Where Does Hugh Jackman Live? Inside the Multifaceted Actor’s Real Estate Holdings

He hails from Down Under and is a bona fide Hollywood star, but where does Hugh Jackman live? His homes are just as impressive as the Greatest Showman himself. The Australia native and his Deadpool & Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds recently hijacked the top of the box office for the sixth weekend in a row, their film bringing in a cumulative domestic total of around $603.8 million. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this makes it the sixth-best showing for a superhero film ever. This success is impressive but not exactly surprising. Jackman’s résumé runs the gamut of everything from 2006’s The Prestige to 2012’s Les Misérables, and he is one Oscar away from a coveted EGOT-winner designation.

Jackman has had an eventful past few years as well, with an extended run on Broadway as the star of Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man and the surprise announcement of his divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness after 27 years of marriage last fall. Amid it all, Jackman has retained multiple impressive homes, including a minimalist East Hamptons pad that was featured in Architectural Digest in 2021. Here, we’re sharing a glimpse into some of the other dwellings the multitalented actor has called home.

Melbourne marital home

Jackman and Furness first met on the set of Australian TV series Corelli in 1995 and got engaged shortly thereafter. “Deb, she was a big star,” Jackman told People in 2017, recalling how it was love at first sight. “I remember thinking, I like this girl.” They tied the knot in April 1996 and picked up a modest two-bedroom apartment in Melbourne the following year for $240,000 AUD, or around $160,000. The unit, located in Melbourne’s historic Cavendish House, featured polished wood floors and high ceilings; oversized windows let in copious amounts of natural light. The pair held onto the apartment for nearly two decades before selling it for $740,000 AUD, or around $498,000, in August 2015.

Sydney rentals

In 2007 the couple began leasing a series of homes in Sydney. They reportedly briefly rented a mansion called Altona, located in the Point Piper suburb. Shortly thereafter, they rented a European-villa-style mansion in Woollahra while Jackman shot X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The luxurious pad featured a tennis court and swimming pool, as well as a primary bedroom suite with two dressing rooms. Jackman and Furness also stayed at a Colonial-style mansion in the Sydney area known as Woodlands. Fun fact: Rupert Murdoch’s eldest daughter, Prue MacLeod, would eventually live there too. Though it’s not widely known how much the actors paid for these places, they were clearly luxe digs—the Woollahra property, for instance, was priced between $36 and $40 million when it came to market years later.

West Village triplex

One of the couple’s most well-known (and longest held) residences was their condo in New York City’s West Village, which they picked up for $21 million in 2008. The 11,000-square-foot home was situated in the boutique condo building Meier South Tower, and spanned the entire eighth, ninth, and 10th floors. With five bedrooms, the home offered ample space for Jackman and Furness to raise their two children. A sleek spiral staircase connected each floor, with the 10th floor entirely occupied by the primary suite, which boasted its own bathroom, studio, and exercise area. The building was designed by architect Richard Meier, who is known for his emphasis on geometric shapes and light. The triplex also offered stunning views of the Hudson through its floor-to-ceiling windows. The pair listed their longtime home for $38.9 million in 2022 after picking up a Chelsea penthouse (more on that below); it’s unclear whether or not it has sold.

Oxfordshire residence

While shooting Les Misérables in 2012, Jackman lived for a time in the village of Ewelme in Oxfordshire, right by the Church of St Mary the Virgin, where part of the movie was filmed. While there, the actor reportedly stayed in a six-bedroom converted barn which featured a garden room and a curiously named Rock Room. Though he did not appear to own the property, Jackman’s love for the place was evident: The Oscar nominee showed his appreciation for the village with a generous donation to help pay for the church’s new heating system. The castle-like property was listed for around $4 million in 2013.

East Hampton dream house

In 2015 the couple paid $3.5 million for a 2.5-acre property in East Hampton, New York, and spent the next six years building and designing their dream home. The waterfront compound comprises a three-bedroom, five-bathroom main house and a separate guesthouse with its own additional bedroom and two bathrooms. The home measures about 7,300 square feet, with floor-to-ceiling glass sliders and an infinity-edge swimming pool that adds to the residence’s tranquility. “This was my lifelong dream,” Furness told AD during a house tour in 2021. “It’s like, bucket list, tick it off. I’ve done it, and I loved it.” The pair worked with Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects to create their uniquely minimalist residence, which combines elements of Japanese and Moroccan aesthetics. “I love that we use every room, every day,” Jackman told AD. “Because of Deb’s design, it brings us all together.” In early 2023, the couple put the vacation home on the rental market for $166,666 per month. They still own it.

Bondi Beach penthouse

Both Jackman and Furness are originally from Down Under, so it makes sense that they wanted to maintain a place in their native Australia. Shortly after selling off their marital home, the couple paid $5.9 million for a penthouse in trendy Bondi Beach in 2016. The exclusive penthouse beach getaway is located in a building designed by SIB Architects that only contains six units. The unit features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with six balcony decks and pocket doors on every wall to maximize indoor-outdoor flow and stunning ocean views. Jackman still owns this home.

Modern Manhattan penthouse

In 2022, a year before Jackman and Furness called it quits on their 27-year marriage, they dropped $21.125 million for a Jean Nouvel–designed penthouse in Chelsea. The exterior of the building is eye-catching, with a curved, textured curtain-wall façade made up of window panes of various sizes. The two-story unit measures around 4,700 square feet, with an enviable, additional 3,700-square-feet of outdoor space and unobstructed views of the Hudson River. A white staircase connects the two floors. Jackman still owns this residence.
