Deborra-Lee Furness's Net Worth Post Hugh Jackman Divorce
It took almost two years of somewhat messy negotiations, but Deborra-Lee Furness officially filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman on May 23. And if you're wondering what the financial situation have been verrrry complicated thanks to Hugh's absolutely enormous net worth. Here's what we know. Soooo, Hugh Jackman is rich. We have a full breakdown this way—though there's some discrepancy. Namely, that Celebrity Net Worth says Hugh has $120 million in the bank, while the Daily Mail says it's more like $250 million. The top notes? According to the Daily Mail, everything was "ironed out behind the scenes" ahead of Deb filing, and a source had this to say: Another insider added that "They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children. They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be." A source told Us Weekly a while back that "Their lives were so interwoven, so it's an extremely tricky and gut-wrenching process dividing everything up and figuring out who gets what in terms of assets and finances. That's what they need to work out. The [divorce] filing will be formalized in due course, but before that happens, their aim is to come to an agreement. They're determined to [do this] as amicably as possible." Apparently the Wolverine star was less than thrilled about Deb's statement re: her "traumatic journey of betrayal" and feels like it was unfortunate timing. Per a source, also in the Daily Mail, "Hugh knows that he cannot change anything, and it is unfortunate that Deb feels the way she did given the fact that he caved in to all of her divorce requests." The couple reportedly spent $21 million for a NYC apartment in 2012 and then sold it for $39.8 million. They also own a property in East Hampton (which they rents for $500,000 a season) and an additional $21 million penthouse in NYC. It's unclear how these properties were divided up in the divorce, but there's obviously a lot to go around! According to Celebrity Net Worth, she has $70 million in the bank—though it's unclear whether this amount takes the divorce settlement into consideration. Either way, note that Deb is also an actor with a lifetime of credits to her name, so she's been generating her own income this entire time, thank you very much!

In a statement, Furness described their breakup as "a profound wound that cuts deep." Hugh Jackman's wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has officially filed for divorce almost two years after they separated in September 2023. She described their split as "a profound wound that cuts deep." Furness had been married to the Wolverine actor for 27 years. They have two children together: Oscar, 25, and Ava, 20. Jackman is in a new relationship with actor Sutton Foster, whom he has known since 2008. The pair started working together on the 2021 Broadway revival of "The Music Man." In late 2024, it was rumored that they were dating after Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin. In January, Jackman and Foster went public with their relationship when they were photographed holding hands in LA. Representatives for Jackman and Furness didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. As the former couple wait for their divorce to be finalized, here's a timeline of their relationship. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met in 1995 on the set of an Australian TV show The pair met on the set of the drama series "Correlli," People reported. Jackman told the outlet there was an instant connection. "I knew two weeks into meeting Deb that we were going to be together for the rest of our lives," Jackman told "Today" in 2018. A few weeks after meeting her, Jackman told People he confessed his feelings for Furness. She reciprocated, and four months later, he asked her to marry him. "Deb, she was a big star," Jackman told People in 2017. "I get picked up, and Deb is in the front seat of the car. I'll never forget. She took off her seatbelt and she turned around and put out her hand and took off her sunglasses and said, 'Hi, I'm Deborra-Lee Furness, nice to meet you.' I remember thinking, 'I like this girl.'" They got married in April 1996 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hugh Jackman (@thehughjackman) On April 11, 1996, the couple tied the knot at a church outside of Melbourne, Australia, per People.

I knew our destiny was to be together," his post continued. "In our 25 years - our love has only grown deeper. The fun, excitement and adventure more exhilarating; the learning even greater. I'm forever grateful to share our love, our life - and, our family together. We've only just begun. Deb, I love you with all my heart!" After experiencing difficulty having children, Jackman and Furness adopted two kids, Oscar and Ava "We struggled, a couple miscarriages, IVF — it's not easy, particularly on Deb," Jackman told People in 2017. They adopted their son, Oscar, in 2000. They adopted their daughter, Ava, in 2005. Oscar is now 25, and Ava is now 19. "Our motivation behind adopting was, 'Where is the need?'" Jackman told People. "The biggest need is in mixed-race kids. I want to tell my kids that … it doesn't matter what sexual [orientation] you are, it doesn't matter what job you do, it doesn't matter whether your hair is straight or curly, if you're tall or short, man or woman, what race you are. What defines you as a human being is underneath all that." The couple's last red-carpet appearance together was in May 2023 The pair made their final appearance as a couple at the 2023 Met Gala, where they walked the red carpet in coordinating black outfits.

Business Insider confirmed that the divorce was filed on May 23, 2025 in New York.

Four days later, on May 27, Furness shared a statement with the Daily Mail that read: "My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal." "It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage," she continued. She ended the statement noting that the one thing she's learned throughout her experience is that "that none of this is personal." "We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random," she added. "We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful."

CPI(M) held rallies in Bengal in favour of Pakistan during Operation Sindoor: former Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb
Former Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb Friday termed the CPI(M) as 'anti-national' for criticising the Centre over the killing of 27 Maoists in Chhattisgarh. Deb's remarks came a day after the Politburo, the highest policy-making body of the CPI(M), issued a statement condemning the recent encounter of 27 Maoists, including general secretary Nambala Kesavarao, and claimed that appeals for peace from the Maoists were ignored by the Union government and the BJP-led Chhattisgarh government. In a video message, BJP MP Deb said, 'We have always been saying that the CPI(M)… is anti-national, anti-social. The CPI(M) conducted rallies in West Bengal in favour of Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. They have always spoken in support of Pakistan and China. Such an anti-national party… doesn't have the right to go to people to appeal as a political party.' The MP also urged the people to take note of the CPI(M)'s 'real face', and their support for Maoists who allegedly killed thousands of ordinary people, political leaders, security forces, and hindered the development of the nation. In its statement, the CPI(M) stated that many political parties and citizens concerned requested the government for a dialogue. But despite repeated appeals for holding talks, both the Centre and the BJP-led state government in Chhattisgarh didn't choose a solution through dialogue, it added. 'In spite of our opposition to Maoists' politics, we urge the government to immediately accept their request for talks and halt all paramilitary operations,' the CPI(M) statement stated.

Fired Federal Worker Flirts on Finch
After losing my job at a federal agency in a recent wave of terminations, I went out for drinks with my friend Deb, who still had her job (at least for the time being) at a different agency. Exhausted, miserable and a half-glass of wine deep in the company of another federal worker, I indulged myself in a little public cry. Deb understood. 'Are you sleeping and eating?' she asked. 'Sort of,' I said, wiping away tears. 'But I'm definitely not drinking water.' (My friend Paige, knowing I had become an over-caffeinated, dehydrated, cover-letter-writing husk, had been sending me daily text reminders to 'Drink water!') 'You should get on Finch,' Deb said, pulling out her phone to show me. Finch is a so-called self-care app that claims you 'take care of your pet,' a virtual bird, 'by taking care of yourself.' Deb's bird on the app, Chickadee, wore purple aviator glasses and a chic chore coat and had a turtle 'micropet.' Chickadee got rainbow coins whenever Deb completed self-care goals such as 'get out of bed,' 'brush teeth' and 'drink water.' And Chickadee could send Chickadee's friends (i.e. Deb's friends' birds) virtual well-wishes. These included hugs (accompanied by a heart emoji), reminders to drink water (water glass emoji), gratitude (heart face) and more. At first, it didn't appeal. I've been in therapy and don't generally need to celebrate remembering to brush my teeth. But when Deb texted me her promo link, which included an adorable llama micropet named 'Oatmeal,' I couldn't help but click. After downloading it, I found myself in possession of a baby bird. I named her Buddy, and I started Finching. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
