Julian McMahon's fortune and real estate wealth revealed
Julian McMahon's net worth has been revealed following his tragic death at the age of 56. The beloved Aussie actor died last week in Clearwater, Florida, after a private battle with cancer, with the 'Charmed actor's wife, Kelly, confirming his death in a statement. McMahon was previously married to singer and actress Dannii Minogue from 1994 to 1995, after the pair met on the set of the Aussie soap 'Home and Away' in 1991. McMahon was also married to former 'Baywatch' star Brooke Burns from 1999 to 2001. Together, they share a daughter, Madison Elizabeth, 25. In 2014, he went on to marry former model and children's book author Kelly Paniagua after 11 years of dating. Details of McMahon's net worth have now been revealed. Aniston's unexpected $45m life exposed WHAT WAS JULIAN MCMAHON'S NET WORTH? It's understood McMahon – who is the son of late former Australian Prime Minister Sir William McMahon and his late wife Lady Sonia McMahon – had a net worth of $US16 million ($A24 million) at the time of his death. During 'Nip/Tuck', the actor earned between $US125,000 to $US155,000 ($A190,000 to $A236,000) per episode. REAL ESTATE A significant portion of McMahon's wealth came from real estate in both the US and Australia. In 1997, the 'Fantastic Four' star purchased a home just below the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles for $US700,000 ($A1.06 million). He sold it in 2015 for $US2.18 million ($A3.32 million), netting a profit of $US1.5 million ($A2.2 million). In 2017, McMahon offloaded his Malibu home after a decade for $US3.55 million ($A5.41 million). The property featured five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, and a volleyball court. Situated on more than an acre in Malibu Park, the home was initially listed for $US4.395 million ($A6.7 million) and later reduced to $US3.85 million ($A5.8 million) before the sale, according to the LA Times. McMahon and his sisters Melinda and Deborah, also inherited several properties in Australia from their mother, Lady McMahon. Their childhood home in Bellevue Hill was sold for $9 million in 2011 following Lady McMahon's death in 2010. The profits from the sale were split between the siblings. A second residence in Bellevue Hill was offloaded in 2012 for $6.25 million. That same year, the family's Palm Beach weekender was sold for around $2 million. JULIAN MCMAHON'S CAREER McMahon started his career in entertainment as a model but quickly transitioned to acting. In 1989, he starred in the short-lived Australian soap opera 'The Power, The Passion' before landing a stint on 'Home and Away'. The actor then made the move to the US, landing roles on shows such as 'Another World', 'Profiler', 'Charmed' and 'Nip/Tuck', which scored him a Golden Globe nomination. He also made a name for himself on the big screen, starring in two Fantastic Four movies: 2005's 'Fantastic Four' and 2007's sequel 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'. More recently, McMahon starred in the Stan Original Film 'The Surfer', which was filmed in Australia and co-starred Nicolas Cage.

Trinny London Miracle Halo Review: Illuminate Your Look
If I had a dollar for every time I wished real life filters existed well … you know the drift. As a busy working mum who is perpetually tired I don't have time to put on a full face of makeup everyday. But I still long for a product that can give my skin bit of oomph, minus the effort. Something that will smooth over any uneven skin tone, imperfections and, you know, make me look like I've actually had a full night's sleep and two litres of water that day (unfortunately coffee doesn't count, I've checked). Enter TRINNY LONDON 's latest offering, Miracle Halo. Not a primer, foundation or concealer, it's what the brand calls a 'complexion illuminator', aka the closest thing you can get to a filter in a bottle. $62 at trinny london I'm already a huge fan of TRINNY LONDON and its founder, celebrity stylist-turned-beauty extraordinaire Trinny Woodall. I've trialled many of TRINNY LONDON's products and am yet to find a product I didn't like, so I couldn't resist the chance to try Miracle Halo. And unsurprisingly, I've been blown away by just how incredible it is. Perfect to wear on its own or under more makeup, it gives your skin an instant pick-me-up that makes it look like you've just got back from a week at a high-end health retreat. But don't just take my word for it. To really put Miracle Halo to the test on different skin types, it's been trialled by myself and two other members of the checkout team. WHAT IS TRINNY LONDON MIRACLE HALO? The best way to describe Miracle Halo is that it is an illuminator, however, it's not just for your cheekbones. Miracle Halo can be applied to the whole face to give you a gorgeous, lit from within glow and dewy skin – it's a real life skin filter. It has sheer coverage, so it's not designed to replace your foundation or BB cream, however, you could definitely still wear it on its own if you wanted a natural look. It comes in four shades: Firelight, Sunlight, Candlelight and Starlight. Trinny recommends mixing it into your moisturiser for an extra glow, or you can add it to your foundation for extra impact. You can also use it like a traditional illuminator and apply it to your cheekbones, brow bones and cupid's bow, making it a seriously versatile product. HANNAH PAINE, CHECKOUT EDITOR I'm obsessed with anything TRINNY LONDON so I was really excited to try out Miracle Halo. Now 34, I've also been going for a less is more approach when it comes to makeup so a multitasker product gets a big tick in my books. I opted for Candlelight as I like to add a bit of warmth to my face. First impressions as I applied Miracle Halo was that it was going to be too dark on my skin, however, to my amazement it blended out beautifully. I'm a shiny gal so I was a bit worried it would add too much shine to my face. But instead it gave me a subtle glow that was an instant confidence boost. Miracle Halo has a lovely, velvety finish and didn't pill despite being layered over my skincare and sunscreen. I really love wearing it on its own as it's an instant pick-me up for my skin. But where it really shone (pun intended) was when I mixed it into my foundation for a night out. It really took my makeup to the next level, providing me with a subtle all over illumination. Miracle Halo has earned itself a permanent place in my makeup bag – it's an essential staple I can't live without! I am incredibly pale and fair-skinned. I burn easily and never tan, so my skin is super dull, boring and, dare I say, lifeless. I've been on the lookout for something to add some colour to my face, and have finally found the solution: TRINNY LONDON 's Miracle Halo. I used the Starlight shade, and after the first pump onto my skin, I was a little sceptical. It appeared darker than I anticipated – surely the lightest shade wouldn't be too dark? But amazingly and to my surprise, it ended up being perfect. It is super lightweight, silky on the skin and blends in incredibly easily. I used just two pumps mixed in with a tiny bit of my moisturiser and my whole face was covered and shimmering with a sheer, natural and dewy finish. Even better than the coverage is its formulation. It is non-comedogenic, so my sensitive skin won't have its pores clogged or lead to breakouts. Miracle Halo is now a staple in my beauty regimen for a quick, natural look to add the extra sparkle my skin so desperately needs. I'm in my mid 50s, so I wasn't expecting any actual miracles, but the idea of giving my skin a dewy glow, especially in winter, was appealing to say the least. I have quite pale skin, so I tested out the two lightest tones, Starlight and Candlelight. I could get away with either, depending on the occasion, however Starlight quickly became my go-to shade. The first thing I noticed when I pumped a little Miracle Halo on my hand was how soft and moisturising it felt against my skin. I have a very dry complexion, so this was a good start. I followed the instructions on the website and tried different ways of applying the product. Firstly, I added half a pump to my moisturiser and immediately loved the look. These days, I never really go out in public sans foundation but Miracle Halo gave my skin a lovely healthy sheen, ideal for casual days, going to the shops, walking the dog and school pick-up. I love that I can pop it on in a second and look naturally brighter and well, more illuminated. I would recommend adding only half a pump as it's quite effective. You can always layer with more but you don't want to start with too much because, well, it can be too much. I then blended it with my foundation which worked beautifully as it gave my face an extra bit of coverage as well as a definite sparkle. My foundation is already quite glowy so together this made my face look even more plump and moisturised. I then layered with blush and a touch of powder so I wasn't too shiny. I love its versatility as you can layer it on your skin in a number of ways. Since trying it out, I've become hooked and am using it everyday. My skin can look so tired and drab, but I found Miracle Halo gives it a much-needed glow – which in turn gives me and my mid-50s skin a confidence boost – a miracle in itself!

Chasing Ghosts' Jimmy Kyle on new album Therapy, reconciliation and tackling tough topics
Content Warning: This article discusses suicide and domestic violence. The weight of an album's subject matter isn't always a good measure of its quality. But in the case of Chasing Ghosts and Therapy, one of the year's best albums, there's absolutely a positive correlation. Therapy lives up to its title, confronting topics even heavier than the down-tuned riffs and pummelling energy that define its hard rock sound. Mental health, domestic violence, suicide, intergenerational trauma — each song wrestles with difficult issues in catchy, cathartic anthems just as likely to make you tear up and reflect as they will have you shouting along. Witness the muscular IWPTEK (an acronym for 'I Wouldn't Profess To Even Know'), all cutting riffs and blood-pumping tempo as Jimmy Kyle, the group's proud Thungutti frontman, raises his voice to a throat-shredding roar of solidarity for trans family members: "I don't have to understand all the elements of someone's lived experience to understand what respect is," the musician tells Double J's Dylan Lewis. "My job isn't to figure out what your gender identity is, or your orientation … nor is it my business. My job is to love you while you figure it out. And that's it. That's what that song is about." That earnest, conversational tone filters into the chorus of Flowers: "Don't you lie to me/And tell me that you're okay, when you're not." It's a song about "dealing with the 'what could I have done?' The 'what ifs' when you lose someone to suicide," Kyle explains. It's even more poignant knowing Flowers is dedicated to his late friend Sean "SK" Kennedy, former bassist for fellow homegrown heavy acts I Killed The Prom Queen and Deez Nuts, who took his own life in 2021. Similarly, the power ballad Hurting Years is an ode to those that "didn't make it" and the resilience of those that did, the lyrics underscoring the fine line that can separate the two. "I implore you to tell your friends that you love them," Kyle sings, addressing the alarming rates of suicide among young Australians. "For First Nations communities, it's even higher still," he adds. Another national epidemic — domestic violence — is tackled in My Bingayi (translating to "My elder brother"), which zeros in on a heart-rending appeal to an individual perpetrator to end the cycles of abuse. The outcome manages to nail the tricky balance between being melodic and tender yet heavy hitting in tone. If you need help immediately call emergency services on triple-0 "It's a cautionary thing about recognising the potential of a person and not condemning them just purely as a monster. And that's a very nuanced conversation. And it's a dangerous conversation to stumble through recklessly," says the frontman. "But I'm hoping that some young man might see himself in a song like My Bingayi and think, 'There's a better version of me out there I can lean into. And this is not it.'" Chasing Ghosts began as a solo project of Kyle's more than a decade ago. From the raw, acoustic missives of 2011 debut Confessions From A Phone Booth, it has evolved into the five-piece band powering Therapy. It's easily the biggest and most polished Chasing Ghosts have ever sounded, courtesy of ARIA Award-nominated producer Stevie Knight, who brings extra punch and gloss to the mix. Hooky melodies and crunching, bellowing choruses are framed by strings, synths, and piano. Rather than merely prettying up these songs, these flourishes amplify their emotional intensity. Even as his songwriting has expanded dramatically in sound and scope over the years, the through-line has always been Kyle's passionate lyricism and authoritative honesty, particularly concerning the ongoing inequity and challenges First Nations people face. Therapy so often hits where it matters because Kyle isn't a rock star preaching platitudes from a soapbox. Instead, he comes across as a relatable guy; a working-class father just trying to pay the bills and get some darn sleep, whether through natural remedies (on Chamomile Tea) or prescriptive means (on the booming Ten Feet Tall). For all the weight Kyle shoulders, and the difficulties Therapy wrestles with, the music is more life-affirming than harrowing. It isn't raging against the machine, more rallying together to confront uncomfortable truths. He wanted these songs to engage in difficult conversations, "but I also didn't want to browbeat people. I think that's when we talk about why these songs are difficult to write. It's about shaving off the rough edges around difficult conversations. Being really mindful when you write a song about domestic violence [for example]". Fist-pumping single Amnesia Everybody addresses what Kyle calls a "head in the sand" attitude towards Australia's violent colonial history. "The short version of that is things like slavery, the massacres that occurred in this country and a lot of people probably aren't familiar with the fact that 50 per cent of those massacres were led by colonial police officers. That really set the dynamic for policing in Australia and especially for First Nations communities. "We have big gaps in our education system … that give people a very skewed understanding of how some huge historical events, which don't' seem to feature in any of our textbooks, have direct links to the circumstances and the context and the relationship and the dynamic we're in today between Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians. "Many of us are pretty disenfranchised with the reconciliation movement, we feel a bit let down and disappointed, especially with recent events. People getting booed for acknowledging the historical truth and reality. "Myths are often what fills the place of facts in Australian history. And I think if we can get rid of the myth, if our communities can come together and stand with our allies, we can build momentum again to do something positive." The album ends on an optimistic note that rings sincere because it's hard-won, Kyle singing of "trying to be better each day" on closing track Trick or Treaty. Somebody striving to build upon the work of those who've gone before to leave the world in a better place for those that come after. "The most important thing for me — I have a son now, so I think about that — is treaty. We want a treaty between First Nations and non-Indigenous peoples in this country." He estimates the majority of "the Aboriginal community would agree with that" and see the potential of a unified Australia. "Where we have an intimate awareness of one another and we try and meet each other's needs to do positive things for the future generations," he elaborates. "Because my son's going to have to grow up in this country. I don't want him to face racism endlessly. His sentiments resonate with the current NAIDOC Week theme of "next generation: strength, vision and legacy". However, Kyle acknowledges there's a lot more work to be done, and a long history of mistreatment and mistrust to overcome, pointing towards landmark protests like the 1965 Freedom Ride and 1972 Aboriginal Tent Embassy. "Our communities, we challenge and we agitate to make change and that's why we do it. If we hadn't agitated, then change doesn't come. It's never been handed to us … And that's the truth. "I don't want people to misconstrue, when we criticise systemic racism and historical injustices. We want justice. That's a normal thing to want in a democratic society. So, it's not a personal punch down on non-Indigenous people, by any means. It's we want true reconciliation where we understand each other." He believes reconciliation and treaty are still within reach, with a shift in perspective and a healthy amount of respect and empathy necessary for living together. "Because no-one's going anywhere. There's 28 million of us all stuck on this big old island. We all gotta get along at some point, and the one thing I know is: respect is free. So, when someone disrespects Aboriginal people, it doesn't say anything about us. It says everything about them. "I believe the criticism sometimes that we bring to the table, people hear negatively, but I think if people could consider that we see the potential of an Australia of us all together, working together. "We're not asking non-Indigenous people to forget their British heritage or their Irish heritage or whatever their heritage is. We're not asking them to not be seen in public and to quieten down, so don't ask us to. We're not going to get quieter, I can guarantee that part." Speaking up and standing firm, rather than suffering through struggles in silence, is a unifying theme of Chasing Ghosts's new album. And the clue is right there in the title. Rather than being confrontational, Therapy's song-craft aims to be inclusive, offering catharsis and healing "Music is therapeutic by nature. It's not just my sort of cathartic release of things that sat on me," says Kyle. "So, whether or not it's my therapy, or whether it's your therapy, or whether we all go to therapy together — it's consistent in the idea of expressing things that make us a little bit scared." Therapy is out now.
