Revealed: A peek into the houses the Big Four Bank bosses call home

The paypackets of all big four bank bosses copped haircuts last year, with recently-resigned NAB CEO Andrew Thorburn taking home $2 million less than he did in 2017.

But don’t feel too sorry for them – they’re probably not too worse for wear, judging by the comfortable pads they go home to.

Here’s a look at the houses the country’s top four banking executives live in:

Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn

The relatively new boss of Australia’s biggest bank goes home to a Federation house in the leafy eastern suburb of Randwick in Sydney, where houses sell for the median price of $2.25 million.

Westpac CEO Brian Hartzer

Westpac’s boss’ modern, clean-cut glass mansion is nestled in the exclusive Sydney suburb of Vaucluse and boasts harbour views. The median house price in Vaucluse is upwards of $5 million.

According to Domain, the designer house was purchased under Hartzer’s wife Georgina’s name in Vaucluse for $12.75 million back in 2014.

Elliott’s Edwardian-style house was purchased in 2012 for $4.5 million, according to Domain.

Former NAB CEO Andrew Thorburn

Thorburn resigned as NAB’s chief executive last Friday along with chairman Ken Henry after it became apparent that their positions were untenable.
