Inside Hugh Jackman's Breathtaking Real Estate Portfolio amid Divorce from Deborra-lee Furness
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Another N.Y.C. property's status is also currently unknown: the three-story West Village penthouse the couple purchased for a reported $21 million in 2008. Their primary family home for many years, the 11,000 square foot property had five bedrooms, including a full-floor primary suite at the top. They listed it for sale for $39 million in 2022, but it remains unclear if the property has sold, per AD. Read the original article on People

‘Meghan doesn't play the community game': Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Montecito neighbours speak out
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Montecito neighbours have taken aim at the Sussexes for doing little for the 'community' despite using the town for their money-making ventures. Markle, 43, and Harry, 40, live in a sprawling Montecito property that boasts both ocean and mountain views, which has formed a backdrop for many of their projects since leaving the royal family. Most recently, Markle rented a second Montecito home to film Netflix cooking series With Love, Meghan. Despite living in the exclusive coastal enclave for almost five years, Montecito local Richard Mineards claimed Markle 'doesn't play the community game'. 'She cultivates a very controlled image. She pays attention to every appearance, every word, every gesture,' he told Ici Paris. 'And here in Montecito, we appreciate simple people, even famous ones. 'Oprah Winfrey, for example, shows up at charity events. Meghan doesn't play the community game.' The Sussexes originally snapped up their 16-bedroom estate in the idyllic community for about AUD $21 million in June 2020 but appear to have made few connections in the area. Although Montecito is also home to a few A-list stars, namely Oprah Winfrey, the community is located more than a two-hour drive from the bright lights of Hollywood. While Mr Mineards claimed Meghan showed little interest in the community, the Duke of Sussex is noticeably more willing to engage with locals. '(Harry) is always charming, approachable, with that very recognisable Windsor accent,' he said. 'He smiles, shakes hands, willingly exchanges a few words. 'We've seen him at the beach, in an organic coffee shop, or cycling in the hills.' The update comes almost two years after an elderly veteran living in Harry and Meghan's street claimed he was flatly turned away at the gate to the Sussexes' compound. United States Navy veteran Frank McGinity claimed his attempts to introduce himself to the couple and gift them a film about the local area failed after he was "turned away". 'Harry and Meghan live on old McCormick property and I went up to their gate with the films on a CD, but they weren't interested,' he told the local newspaper Montecito Journal in July 2023. "The gate guy turned me away and wouldn't take the film, just saying 'they're not interested'. I was trying to be neighbourly."

Telltale sign Meghan Markle may have lied about her 'garden haul' of fruit and vegetables
Royal fans have spotted a telltale sign Meghan Markle may have lied about her "garden haul" of fruit and vegetables on social media. On Thursday, the Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share a snap of the Sussexes' beagle Mia sniffing a basket of produce allegedly plucked from the ex-working royal's garden in Montecito, California. "The unofficial quality inspector of this morning's garden haul," she wrote in the caption. The basket contained a fresh harvest of broccoli, carrots, corn, red peppers, squash, and spring onions, along with a variety of fresh herbs. However, eagle-eyed royal watchers quickly took to social media to claim some of the vegetables were not currently in season. "Huh. She's so good at gardening she can grow all things from all seasons at once," one person said. Other people claimed May was too early in the year to harvest most of the crops in the basket. They then speculated Meghan may have sourced the vegetables from her local grocery store or farmer's market rather than her own garden. "The only place I see all that in season is the grocery store produce section," one person person said. "It's way too early in the season for most of those vegetables to be grown in her garden and ready to pick," another person said. "Who is harvesting corn in May? It's pretty early for squash and peppers, too," one more person said. Other people suggested it was odd there was no dirt on the vegetables. "I've never seen vegetables so clean after harvesting," said one person. "No dirt?" said another bemused person. Sweet corn can be harvested in California from June through to October, according to the California Farmland Trust. This means it may have been slightly too early in the year for Meghan to grow the crop. Brocolli harvesting ideally occurs much earlier in the year, from January through March. Spring onions, peppers, and certain types of squash may be ready for harvesting now. In recent months, Meghan has been prominent on social media. Picture: AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell In recent months, Meghan has been prominent on social media after launching a lifestyle series on Netflix, With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle brand, As Ever, and a podcast show, Confessions of a Female Founder. With Love, Meghan will return for more episodes while the podcast wrapped up after just eight episodes on Tuesday. As Ever, formerly known as American Riviera Orchard, remains uncertain after a brief launch saw Markle Markle's jam 'sell out' within minutes. has contacted the Sussex's representatives for comment.
