Mark Wahlberg is currently savoring the essence of Sydney life as he takes residence in a luxurious three-storey mansion valued at an astonishing $100 million.
The 52-year-old actor is in Australia to shoot Play Dirty, where he stars alongside Oscar-nominated LaKeith Stanfield and Rosa Salazar.
Choosing to nest in Point Piper, Sydney's enclave of opulence, Mark's temporary abode is nothing short of spectacular, offering breathtaking views of the harbor.
This architectural marvel is equipped with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and ample space for seven vehicles.
Among its lavish amenities are a home cinema, a gas-heated swimming pool, a private deep-water jetty, and a fully equipped home gym, ensuring comfort and luxury during his stay.
This property, as reported by realestate.com, holds the record as Australia's most expensive home as of August 2007, following a $30 million sale. Its value has since appreciated, with its latest transaction in April 2020 closing at $51 million.
In a conversation with The Daily Telegraph, Mark shared his experiences in Australia, noting, "I'm not the owner of the house, but it's been cool. The only difficult part is that I'm so far away from my family."
Despite the distance from his loved ones, Mark is fully immersed in his work, recently spotted on the Sydney set of Play Dirty.
This upcoming Amazon crime thriller saw Mark engaging in a series of action-packed sequences at the Bankstown City Paceway.
Dressed in a burgundy tracksuit, complemented by a black neck gaiter and sneakers, he was filmed alongside jockeys and racehorses, participating in intense scenes that included wielding a firearm and navigating through stunts with his fellow cast members.
One particularly dramatic moment involved a horse jockey being run over by a car on the racetrack.
Under the direction of Shane Black, Play Dirty is an adaptation of the gritty Parker crime novels penned by Donald E. Westlake, promising to be a thrilling addition to Mark's illustrious career.
As he continues to explore his character and the dynamic world of crime fiction, Mark's temporary shift to Sydney life brings a fascinating blend of work and leisure
