Madeleine West and Shannon Bennett make a $7million profit on Melbourne mansion

Madeleine West and Shannon Bennett have officially sold their five-bedroom Melbourne mansion for more than $23million, taking home a $7million profit in the process.

The Toorak residence was going for between $21million and $23million dollars, but according to Real Estate, it sold for ‘well over’ its price guide.

The Neighbours actress, 40, and her MasterChef star former partner, 45, bought the mansion in 2017 for $16million.

They then renovated the property, which added at least $7million to the price. 

Unfortunately, the couple split in early 2018 and quickly moved out of the mansion. 

With Toorak being one of Melbourne’s most exclusive suburbs, it’s no surprise that the home sold in just two weeks.
