The movie star has made himself feel right at home amid his temporary residence in Sydney, moving into a preposterously priced three-storey mansion while filming his new flick Play Dirty.

The property — which sold in April 2020 for a staggering $51 million — is estimated to have doubled in price since changing ownership due to the city’s rising house prices.D

Overlooking the iconic harbour, the opulent playhouse is based in Point Piper, often considered the most prestigious postcode in Sydney.

Reportedly breathing the same rare air as ex-PM Malcolm Turnbull and Atlassian billionaire Scott Farquhar, Wahlberg’s estimated $600 million net worth will fit right in.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the 52-year-old revealed it wasn’t all smooth sailing at his harbour digs.

“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,” he said.
