Laughing Man Coffee and other business
Jackman launched Laughing Man Coffee in 2011 after a 2009 trip to Ethiopia with the charity World Vision, where he met a coffee farmer. Keurig acquired the packaged-coffee business in 2015.
Jackman has committed his profits from the coffee brand to the Laughing Man Foundation. Because of this, the brand adds more to his public profile than to his personal fortune.
Assets: homes, cars and investments
Jackman and Furness bought a West Village triplex in New York for $21 million in 2008. They listed it at $38.9 million in 2022, later offered it for rent at $125,000 a month, and returned it to the market in 2026 at $28.75 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The couple also spent a combined $7.5 million in 2014 and 2015 on adjoining properties in East Hampton, now offered as a summer rental for $500,000. In August 2022, they bought a Chelsea penthouse for $21.125 million. In May 2025, an entity linked to Furness paid $11.7 million to their shared company, which appears to have bought out Jackman’s interest.
Jackman has not publicly disclosed a car collection or major investments outside property. As a result, his film pay, live shows and New York real estate form the basis of most estimates of his wealth.
Divorce and personal life
Jackman and Furness married in 1996 and have two adopted children. They announced their separation in September 2023. Furness filed for divorce in May 2025, and it was finalised a month later. The financial settlement was not made public.
Since 2025, Jackman has been in a public relationship with Sutton Foster, his co-star in the Broadway revival of The Music Man.
