Hugh Jackman’s Bondi Beach Penthouse, Purchased for $5.9 Million in 2015, Now Valued at Up to $15.5 Million

Hugh Jackman’s three‑bedroom penthouse on Bondi Beach has attracted attention after the actor was seen with girlfriend Sutton Foster in Sydney. Jackman bought the 125‑square‑metre apartment at Ben Buckler, the northern end of Bondi Beach, for $5,925,000 in 2015 with the help of his friend and agent Paul Dainty. Property industry sources estimate the home’s current value at around $15 million to $15.5 million, according to realestate.com.au. The penthouse sits on the top floor of a boutique residential block that contains only six homes, a feature that is believed to add to its appeal.

Jackman reportedly keeps the property as his Australian base and has no plans to sell it. The apartment was last offered for long‑term rent at $10,000 per week in February 2022, but has not been listed on the rental market since.

During a recent visit to Sydney, Jackman and Foster were seen walking hand‑in‑hand along Bondi Beach, beginning their day with a gym session at North Bondi Surf Club before strolling along Campbell Parade and the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk. Jackman told The Daily Telegraph that it was “great” to be back home and that he and Foster were doing well.

Jackman retained the Bondi property following his divorce from Deborra‑Lee Furness in June 2025, a separation that brought renewed focus on his real‑estate holdings. While the former couple’s New York penthouse was listed for sale, Jackman kept his Australian seaside home. The penthouse remains a significant part of his property portfolio, with its prime location, three‑bedroom layout and rising estimated value.

The boutique block also houses other high‑profile owners, including Rebel Penfold‑Russell, who bought a ground‑floor apartment for $12 million in February 2023, and Doreen Jacenko, who purchased a neighboring ground‑floor unit for $8.6 million in 2022.
