RUSSELL CROWE – $40 MILLION, SYDNEY

Crowe was born on April 7, 1964, on the outskirts of Wellington, in Strathmore Park, New Zealand. His hugely successful film Gladiator, in which he played the Roman general Maximus Demicus Meridius, received international attention and won the Academy Award, The Empire Award, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, and the London Film Critics Award for Best Actor, among ten other nominations.

Russell Crowe used to own the most luxurious waterfront house in Sydney, Australia. The house was called Berthong, sitting on Elizabeth Bay, a suburb near the harbor in the east of the town. It had five bedrooms and six bathrooms, carrying a Victorian style built in the 19th century. It also features a lavish marble kitchen and also has a butler’s pantry, pool, and a huge garden. Russell sold the place for $11.5 million in 2003. However, it was once again in the market for a whopping $40 million, proving real estate is a good investment as its value increases over time.
