Hugh Jackman’s luxury Bondi Beach penthouse is back in the spotlight after the Hollywood star was spotted enjoying a day out with girlfriend Sutton Foster in Sydney. The actor, who purchased the three-bedroom property for $5.925 million in 2015, is believed to have held on to the seaside apartment following his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. Property industry sources now estimate that the home could be worth between $15 million and $15.5 million, according to realestate.com.au.Located at Ben Buckler, at the northern end of Bondi Beach, the 125-square-metre penthouse is just metres from one of Australia’s most famous beaches. Jackman is reportedly using the property as his Australian base, with no indication that he intends to sell it anytime soon.

Jackman bought the three-bedroom apartment in 2015 for $5,925,000, with the help of his friend and agent Paul Dainty. More than a decade later, its estimated value has more than doubled, according to property industry sources quoted in the report.One industry source put its current worth at “probably about $15m or $15.5m”. The apartment occupies the top floor of a boutique residential block comprising just six homes, a location that is believed to add to its appeal.

The property was reportedly last offered for long-term rent at $10,000 per week in February 2022. Jackman has not put it on the permanent rental market since then, further suggesting that he prefers to retain the apartment for his own use when he is in Australia.Sources familiar with the property believe the actor plans to keep it as his Australian base. “Why would he ever sell it?” one source was quoted as saying, adding, “It’s in the best spot in Bondi Beach!”
Hugh Jackman’s Bondi neighbours include property owners Rebel Penfold-Russell and Doreen Jacenko
The boutique block where Jackman owns his penthouse is also home to other high-profile property owners. Australian film producer and actress Rebel Penfold-Russell, an heiress to the Penfolds family, purchased a three-bedroom ground-floor apartment in the building for $12 million in February 2023.The property was reportedly rented out last summer for $6,500 per week. Another three-bedroom ground-floor apartment next door was purchased by Doreen Jacenko, mother of publicist Roxy Jacenko, for $8.6 million in 2022.With Jackman’s apartment occupying the top floor, property agents believe it would command a higher price than the $12 million paid for Penfold-Russell’s home three years ago. This has led to estimates placing the actor’s penthouse at around $15 million to $15.5 million.

They later took the famous Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, enjoying the views from the clifftops.Jackman, who has owned a home in Bondi for more than 10 years, told the publication that it was “great” to be back home. When asked how things were going with Foster, he replied, “We’re doing great.”The visit is reportedly the first time Jackman has been to Sydney and spent time at his Bondi apartment since December 2024. The couple are said to be staying at the penthouse during their visit.
Hugh Jackman retains Bondi home following divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness
Jackman’s Bondi property has remained in his possession following his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness in June 2025. The former couple were together for 27 years, and their separation brought renewed attention to their property holdings.While their reported $60 million New York penthouse was listed for sale, Jackman retained his Australian seaside home. A Woman’s Day report also claimed that the former couple had been involved in a dispute over their estimated $250 million family fortune.Despite the changes in his personal life, Jackman appears to have held on to his Bondi retreat. With its prime location, three-bedroom layout and rising estimated value, the apartment remains a significant part of the actor’s Australian property portfolio.
