Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have put their AU$60million (US$39million) New York apartment on the market amid their messy divorce.
Realtor.com reports that the former couple are offloading the stunning five-bedroom ‘triplex’ apartment in the West Village that they purchased back in 2008 for AU$32million (US$21million).
The penthouse boasts an eye-watering 1000 sqm of floor space and spans the top three floors of a glass tower overlooking the Hudson River.
The three floors are connected via a spiral staircase and the luxe abode also boasts seven bathrooms.
It also features a library, private sauna and an indoor gym, while the kitchen boasts a massive island bench, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space.

Designed by lauded architect Richard Meier, the property is described as a ‘modernist masterpiece’.
The main bedroom, meanwhile, occupies an entire floor and includes a luxurious spa bath and dressing area.
Hugh, 56, and Deborra-Lee, 69, tried to offload the apartment back in 2022, but paused the sale in favour of putting it on the rental market.
The listing comes after it was recently revealed that the ex-couple had decided to split their other New York abode down the middle.
The former couple filed records with the city regarding their shares of their former love nest, as seen in documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
It marked the first public sign of their asset division, which The Real Deal was the first to report on, and comes just two days after the actress formally filed for divorce.
The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom penthouse, which the couple purchased together back in 2022 for AU$32.46million (US$21.12million), had not been listed for sale but underwent a property transfer.

According to the new deed seen by DailyMail.com, it was confirmed that the pair have ultimately decided to split this property down the middle.
The documentation of the property transfer shows the names of the exes’ longtime legal advisor as well as their shell companies on either or both sides of the deed.
The paperwork reveals that Lackawanna LLC, a limited liability company that the pair previously used to purchase the home, transferred the penthouse to Phoenix Rising I LLC for AU$18million (US$11.7million).
Phoenix Rising has been linked to Furness and is perhaps a symbolic name for reemerging from the ashes post-divorce.
The sale price of the property had been registered at AU$36.27million (US$23.6million), so Deborra-Lee seemingly had the property transferred to her via the shell company for just under half of that sum.
The deed also shows that the transaction was made between ‘relatives or former relatives’.
Their multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio includes properties spanning across three continents.
They own several luxury properties across the United States, England and Australia.

Hugh and Deborra-Lee, who had been married since 1996, announced their separation back in 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
At the time, they cited a desire to pursue ‘individual growth’.
Though the pair have not publicly revealed the reasons behind their separation, rumours have run rampant as fans speculate that Jackman growing close to his fellow Broadway co-star Sutton Foster in The Music Man play was a factor in their split.
Last month, Deborra-Lee alluded to Hugh’s alleged affair with his now-girlfriend as she broke her silence about his ‘betrayal’ since legally filing for divorce.
‘My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,’ she wrote in a statement shared exclusively with DailyMail.com.
‘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.’
She continued: ‘This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.’
