Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness shocked the world on Friday by announcing their decision to separate after 27 years of marriage.
And as the world accepts the end of an era, eyes turn to the Hollywood couple’s gigantic estate.

Before his breakout role in 2000’s X-Men, Hugh and Deborra-Lee lived in a modest two-bedroom apartment in Melbourne.
The couple purchased their first property together for $240,000 in 1997, a year after they married.
