Simon Baker's assets

Back in 2015, it came to light that Simon Baker had invested a whopping $6.5 million in a brand-new property located in Bondi Beach, Australia. Before this, Simon and his wife Rebecca Rigg had owned a terrace in Paddington which they sold in 2007 for $3.3 million. In 2014, they took a step up by purchasing a smaller Bondi home for $2.63 million. However, it seems this cozy home didn't quite meet their standards, as they made a significant upgrade to the $6.5 million property just a year later. In 2016, Simon decided to part ways with an unnecessary penthouse in Sydney, which he sold for $3.5 million in Australian dollars. As if that weren't enough, the couple also possesses another home in Nashua, Australia, valued at $1.5 million. But Simon's property portfolio doesn't stop there – he also owns a 4,755-square-foot residence in Santa Monica that he acquired back in 2007 for $4.65 million.
