Deborra-Lee Furness is often reported to have an estimated net worth of about $70 million. That figure is attributed to Celebrity Net Worth, not to a verified financial disclosure. Hugh Jackman’s estimates vary more widely, from $120 million to $250 million in the reports reviewed, so the available evidence does not establish that Furness’s fortune almost rivals his.
What is Deborra-Lee Furness’s reported net worth?
Parade and Cosmopolitan both attribute a $70 million estimate for Furness to Celebrity Net Worth. Neither figure is an audited statement or a confirmed accounting of her assets and debts. Cosmopolitan also says it is unclear whether the estimate reflects the couple’s divorce settlement.
That distinction matters: a net-worth estimate is not the same as cash, income, or the amount someone received in a divorce. The reports do not provide a complete balance sheet for Furness.
How do the reported estimates compare?
| Person | Reported estimate | Attribution and qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Deborra-Lee Furness | $70 million | Celebrity Net Worth estimate reported by Parade and Cosmopolitan in 2025; Cosmopolitan says it is unclear whether it accounts for the divorce settlement. |
| Hugh Jackman | $120 million | Celebrity Net Worth estimate reported by Parade and Cosmopolitan in 2025. |
| Hugh Jackman | $250 million | Daily Mail estimate reported by Cosmopolitan in 2025. |
The $70 million estimate is about 58% of a $120 million estimate, but about 28% of a $250 million estimate. Those ratios are arithmetic comparisons of reported estimates, not a reliable measurement of the two people’s relative wealth. The sources do not establish a shared valuation method or a common date for the underlying figures.

Does the divorce settlement explain Furness’s estimate?
The public reporting does not establish that it does. Us Weekly reported that Furness filed for divorce in New York on May 23, 2025, and that filings included settlement documents and a proposed judgment, but its report did not provide a complete settlement amount or financial accounting. Parade reported that the divorce was finalized in June 2025.
Accordingly, no verified amount for what Furness received in the divorce can be stated from these reports. Cosmopolitan specifically notes that the $70 million estimate’s treatment of the settlement is unclear. The pair had announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, according to The Associated Press.

It offers property context, not a calculation of either person’s net worth. realestate.com.au reported in 2025 that property records showed Furness paid US$11.7 million to the purchasing LLC for a Manhattan penthouse, and cited a value of about US$23.6 million. Those figures do not disclose ownership shares, any debt secured against the property, taxes, or how the asset was treated in the settlement.
