SHANE Warne died of a sudden heart attack on March 4, 2022, leaving behind a massive fortune and a huge property portfolio. So where did he live?
Shane Warne died aged 52 of a suspected heart attack during a holiday in Thailand, leaving behind an estimated net worth of $50 million (approximately £37,800,040). Though he was known for his skills in the world of sport, widely renowned as “one of the finest bowlers in the history of cricket”, he also held an impressive property portfolio. Warne regularly undertook huge renovation projects on some of the houses he purchased, before later reselling.
Born in the Australian suburb of Black Rock, Melbourne, Warne flipped one of his most impressive properties just along the coast from his childhood home.
This huge mansion in Brighton, Melbourne, was offloaded by the cricketing star after it was passed in at a private auction at $5.65 million (approximately £4,271,404) in December 2020.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom property initially had an asking price of $6.8 million (approximately £5,140,805) to $7.4 million (approximately £5,594,405).
There were numerous areas to lounge and relax in the home, including a stunning monochrome sitting room with a grand fireplace, and even a cinema room.

The room also has enough space for a vast dining table.
Throughout the property, Warne stuck with a monochrome design rich in velvet and ornate chandeliers.
A grand staircase near the entrance further elevated the affluent atmosphere.
Perhaps one of the home’s most iconic features was a luxurious, well-stocked bar and plush seating area that wasn’t too far from a high-end nightclub.
