Hugh Jackman is among the Australian celebrities returning Down Under over Christmas to celebrate the festive season in the sun.

The Wolverine star was spotted taking a dip at Bondi Beach a week out from Christmas.

Although Jackman spends most of his time living in the US, he has amassed an impressive property portfolio, including a luxury penthouse at North Bondi.

The actor has owned the property for almost a decade after purchasing it for $5.925 million in 2015.

It is one of six apartments in the complex, and it is estimated that the property could now be worth as much as $12 million.

And if you fancy spending the night at Hugh’s luxury beachside pad, it is listed on short-term rental sites.

A stay at the property will set you back a fair chunk of change, though.

The nightly rate is $2500 during the summer months.

So what will that get you?

The apartment is set across 210 square metres with panoramic views and high-end finishes.

Features include a sleek, luxury kitchen, limestone bathroom finishes, a grand main suite with an ensuite, a Juliette balcony, and a huge walk-in robe.

In the past 10 years, the country singer and Oscar winner have splurged millions on real estate, including six apartments in a harbourside complex in Milsons Point.

The total cost for the six properties is around $27.5 million.

If they decide on a change of pace, Keith and Nicole can jump in the car and drive to their sprawling Southern Highlands estate.

The couple purchased the historic 45-hectare property in Sutton Forest in 2008 for $6.5 million.

Known as Bunya Hill Estate, the former black Angus cattle stud includes a circa 1878 Georgian mansion with period features such as pressed metal ceilings, a grand carved cedar staircase and 10 marble fireplaces.

Since taking ownership of the property, updates have included an 18-metre swimming pool, a gym and a full-sized tennis court.

In 2022, it was revealed that the singer had spent $8 million on a lavish four-bedroom house in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

A short drive from the city centre, the sprawling property combines period charm with luxury modern finishes.
