Inside Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ multi-million dollar property portfolio with sprawling homes in Australia and United States – as the couple split after 27 years of marriage

Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness shocked the world on Friday when they announced their decision to split after 27 years of marriage. 

And as the world comes to terms with the end of an era, eyes are turning to the Hollywood couple’s mammoth estate.

The 54-year-old X-Men actor and 67-year-old Correlli actress first stepped onto the property ladder in the late ’90s and have since acquired a collection of luxury homes in Australia and the U.S.

Before his breakout role in X-Men in the year 2000, Hugh and Deborra-Lee lived in a modest two-bedroom apartment in Melbourne.

The couple bought their first property together for $240,000 in 1997, a year after they married.

They eventually sold the apartment in August 2015 for $740,000, earning themselves a tidy profit of half a million dollars. 

The couple’s first home featured polished floorboards and high ceilings, as well as an abundance of natural light thanks to its oversized windows.

In 2009, they upgraded by splashing out on a three-storey apartment in the Meier Towers building in New York.
