Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness are showing what it’s like to live as a member of the one-percent club. The couple has listed their futuristic, Richard Meier-designed New York City condo for $40 million — a hopeful $19 million profit if they get the asking price. They bought the property in 2008 and paid $21 million, but it’s the projected $734,000 annual fees in maintenance and taxes that the new owners will have to take on that stops our hearts.
The 11,000 square-foot triplex, occupying the eighth, ninth, and 10th floor, offers five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and and two half-bathrooms as well as stunning views of the Hudson River, enhanced by the floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. If privacy or colorful decor is what you are looking for, this place is definitely not for you. It has a very monochromatic vibe with an open floor plan that might not be everyone’s idea of fun. From some angles, the neighbors can look in to see Wolverine working in his office — Manhattan living is exciting, but not when you want to sit around in your underwear.
There are also plenty of luxurious amenities that come with living in the swanky building — from concierge services to the requisite gym. Jackman and Furness have been fortunate enough to call Calvin Klein their neighbor, and grab a five-star burger from celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Perry St restaurant, which is also located in the complex. It’s going to be a particular buyer who picks up this specific property, but we think the West Village location makes it very attractive for the right owner.

Kitchen for a King
While this is the family kitchen, there is also a catering kitchen and pantry area for those fancy dinner party evenings.
Futuristic Interior
The Richard Meier-designed condo gives off a space-age vibe with its floor-to-ceiling windows and spiral staircases enveloped with all-white walls.
Come for the View
We have a feeling that part of this spectacular price tag is because of that multi-million dollar view that goes from the edge of the Hudson River to the New Jersey shoreline.
Open Concept
Much of the house is an open-concept design with a clever use of architecture to define each space.
Not Your Typical Game Room
It looks like a museum more than a game room, but there’s certainly plenty of room for kids to run around.
Clever Use of Space
The bunk beds blend neatly into the architecture while the built-in desk provides a clean area to do homework.
Now That’s a Primary Suite
The lofted bed allows Jackman and Furness to take in those epic views at any time of day — it’s a very unique design.
A Spot of Color
There isn’t much color to the monochromatic home, but the blue wall of glass doubles as a much-needed privacy screen.
