Brendan Fraser might still be Hollywood’s heartthrob, but there’s nothing really Hollywood about him these days.

These Brendan Fraser Movies Have Grossed Over $100 Million At The Box Office
While we wait to see what Brendan Fraser does next, let’s take a look back at his biggest movies that brought in over $100 million in the box office.
Fans may have been sad to see Fraser move away from Hollywood and dial back his professional projects for a time, but the actor found refuge in a surprisingly modest horse property outside Manhattan. Here’s everything known to date about Brendan Fraser’s home and where he lives today.
Brendan Fraser Moved To A Horse Property In New York While Hiding Out From Hollywood
Brendan Fraser sold his Hollywood home years ago
Brendan Fraser once lived in the heart of Hollywood, rubbing elbows with other rich actors while raising his three kids with his ex-wife and working in Hollywood. But after his divorce, Brendan faded out of view and while he continued acting, things weren’t going well for him.
Here’s How Brendan Fraser Is Rebuilding His Net Worth
Brendan Fraser was one of the biggest film stars in the world, and after a few years out of the spotlight, he’s ready to come back bigger than ever.
For one thing, Brendan and his ex Afton’s divorce was messy, with child support totaling $50,000 a month at one point. Fraser petitioned for the amount to be lowered in 2013, which led to arguments in court over his possible movie deals.
Yet Brendan’s ‘comeback’ wasn’t until 2023’s The Whale, which thankfully put him on the path toward rebuilding his net worth.
Before that, Brendan largely hid out, moving out of California and hunkering down on a horse property far removed from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
Brendan Fraser’s House Is Modest By Celebrity Millionaire Standards

By celebrity standards, Brendan Fraser’s property is rather modest. That might be partly because Brendan lost his $45 million net worth over the years, but it may also be due to his desire for a lowkey life despite his success.
Earlier in his career, circa 1996, Brendan purchased a home in Beverly Hills for around $675,000. He and his ex-wife Afton Smith later sold the home for about $2.3M in profit. After their split, Brendan moved to New York, purchasing the horse property where he and his kids would thrive.
Brendan Fraser Sent Hollywood A Message By Turning Down A Sequel Offer After The Original Thrived At The Box Office Making $174 Million
Brendan Fraser had a specific vision for his career when The George of the Jungle sequel was pitched.
Brendan Fraser’s New York property cost about $3.4 million and is conveniently located just about an hour outside of Manhattan. Though he often travels — and was commuting to Canada and Europe in 2018 — Fraser’s home base still seems to be his New York horse property.
And Fraser has a reason to want to stick near Bedford, NY; the property houses his horse Pecas. Brendan brought the horse home after filming in Mexico in 2015 and enlisted the animal as a therapy support for his oldest son, who has autism.
While GQ spent time on Brendan’s property — which offered up all manner of sports equipment, a trampoline, a zip line, a pool, and more — it was clear that Fraser wasn’t all about the material things in life. Instead, he focused on doing things with his kids and being outside.
Fraser Lives Near His Ex-Wife And Has His Kids At His House Often
While they may not be friendly, Brendan Fraser and his ex co-parent well
Brendan Fraser’s three kids with his ex-wife have mostly stayed out of the spotlight, but Brendan made it clear that he sees them often. After he and his ex both fled California, Afton Smith wound up living just across the state border in Greenwich, Connecticut.
While his GQ interview didn’t reveal much about Brendan’s relationship with his ex, years after their split, it seemed that custody, at least, had been settled by 2018.
After ten years of alimony, Brendan’s payments to his ex-wife stopped, and in 2025, when all of his kids will be legal adults, Brendan will likely be off the hook for child support, too.
