Russell Crowe quietly lists his harbourfront Sydney apartment for an eye-watering $50million

As a dedicated follower and admirer of Russell Crowe‘s illustrious career, I must say that his decision to part ways with his magnificent harbourside apartment is nothing short of bittersweet. The actor has had quite the journey since his humble beginnings in New Zealand and Australia, and this luxurious property has been a testament to his success for nearly two decades.


Russell Crowe looks set to part ways with his spectacular harbourside apartment in Sydney.

In 2003, the seasoned Hollywood actor, who is now 60 years old, acquired a luxurious estate at a cost of $14.35 million. Eight years ago, he contemplated marketing it for $25 million.

Currently, it appears that the actor who played the Gladiator has privately put his apartment up for sale, with an estimated value between $42 million and $50 million.

The Crowe’s apartment is located at Finger Wharf, a high-end neighborhood known as Woolloomooloo, approximately 2 kilometers from the central business district (CBD) of Sydney. This luxurious apartment claims an entire floor within an elite structure.

Based on information from Domain, it appears that the actor’s network is handling the negotiations for the large waterfront property.

One source revealed that Crowe’s apartment has been listed ‘off-market’ through McGrath real estate, although John McGrath, an old friend of the actor, has not confirmed this to the publication.

Following a query about whether Crowe’s high-end apartment was available for sale, Grant Vandenberg, the celebrity’s public representative, informed Domain that “inquiries about it are made frequently.

It’s possible that Crowe decided to sell his cherished apartment because the sale of two properties, a penthouse and a sub-penthouse, at the elite One Sydney Harbour development, totaled an astonishing $140 million in 2019.

In 2017, he rejected a $25 million offer for his beloved Finger Wharf residence.

This substantial property covers an area of 1,000 square meters and was originally conceived as a space for four distinct private dwellings.

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement over the grandeur of Russell’s residence! By merging four properties within the compound, this magnificent abode boasts a staggering eleven bedrooms. But wait, there’s more – it even comes with its very own 35-meter marina berth, making it an unparalleled haven for those who love luxury and style!

In an attempt to almost double his original investment, Crowe put the apartment up for sale at a maximum price of $30 million. But, when he didn’t get that amount, he chose to withdraw it from the market instead.

As reported by Domain, the initial owners of this apartment were Imelda Roche, the founder of Nutrimetics, and her late spouse, Bill Roche. They acquired it in 1998 for a price of $9.8 million, as per the plan.

Furthermore, it was also mentioned that Crowe was presented with an $13 million deal for two films belonging to the same franchise in 2018.

The offer was made by Sam Barnett, the son of former Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett. 

Nevertheless, Crowe’s representatives stated that no offer had been made since the property was not available for purchase at the given moment.

2021 saw Crowe making news as the Sydney Morning Herald announced that the private celebrity had set up a Scandinavian-style outdoor sauna on his balcony at his Finger Wharf apartment.

At that time, this type of sauna was being sold for over $10,000.

Crowe boasts quite the property portfolio, including a sprawling 400 hectare Nana Glen rural property near Coffs Harbour on the NSW north coast.

This property, previously damaged by wildfires, additionally boasts its own chapel – the venue where the individual tied the knot with his former spouse, Danielle Spencer, back in 2003.

Crowe is now in a relationship with Britney Theriot, who he’s been dating since 2020.
