In a revealing insight into one of Hollywood's most enduring marriages, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have constructed a formidable financial fortress around their £76 million property empire, protected by what insiders describe as an "ironclad" prenuptial agreement.
The Property Portfolio Worth Protecting
The power couple, married since 2006, have amassed an impressive collection of luxury residences spanning multiple continents. Their crown jewel remains a breathtaking £5.4 million mansion in Sydney's exclusive Darling Point, complemented by multiple high-value properties across Australia and the United States.
Their real estate holdings include:
- A stunning £4.3 million penthouse in Nashville
- Multiple luxury apartments in Sydney's most sought-after neighbourhoods
- A sprawling country estate outside Nashville
- Several investment properties generating substantial rental income
The Controversial 'No Drugs' Clause
What makes their prenuptial agreement particularly noteworthy is the inclusion of a strict anti-drug provision, reportedly inserted at Kidman's insistence following Urban's well-documented stay in rehabilitation for cocaine addiction just four months into their marriage.
Legal experts suggest this clause could have dramatic financial consequences: should Urban fail a drug test or be discovered using illegal substances, he could forfeit millions in marital assets and potentially face immediate divorce proceedings with significantly reduced settlement terms.
A Marriage Built on Second Chances
The Australian-born actress, 57, stood by her husband during his 2006 rehab stint, with Urban subsequently crediting her support with saving both his marriage and his life. The couple have since welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, and appear to have built one of Tinseltown's more stable unions.
"Their commitment to making the marriage work, despite early challenges, demonstrates remarkable resilience," noted a source close to the couple. "The prenup wasn't about anticipating failure, but about protecting what they built together."
Financial Wisdom in Hollywood Relationships
With combined career earnings exceeding £250 million, the couple's approach to financial planning represents growing trend among high-profile couples seeking to protect individual assets while building shared wealth.
Their property portfolio alone has appreciated significantly since their marriage, with Australian real estate experts noting their "impeccable timing" in the luxury market. The careful structuring of their financial arrangements has allowed both stars to maintain successful careers while building substantial joint assets.
As one entertainment lawyer observed: "When you're dealing with assets of this magnitude and careers of this profile, smart legal planning isn't just prudent—it's essential for the relationship's long-term health."
