Sunrise news presenter Edwina Bartholomew, who had previously hosted reality shows like Dancing with the Stars and Australian Spartan, may have her net worth in the millions after selling her Sydney home.
While the exact net worth of Edwina Bartholomew is still unknown, many speculate that it might be over a million as she and her husband, Neil Varcoe, sold the west-Sydney Dulwich house for $2.1 million in March 2023.
Reluctant at first, Edwina and her husband sold the property at a profit of $510k, as the couple had bought it for $1.59 million in 2017.
Furthermore, NowToLove also stated that she may become a ‘multimillionaire’ by the end of 2023, complementing her skills by saying, “Eddy’s a natural at finding amazing properties with huge potential, and working her magic and making them into something very special.“
Edwina Bartholomew and her husband seem to like buying and renovating properties!
Born on July 5, 1983, Edwina Bartholomew graduated from Charles Sturt University with a journalism degree and finished a Master of International Studies from Sydney University in 2006.
She started dating Neil in 2012 after meeting for the first time while working for the radio station 2GB. After dating for six years, the couple married on April 21, 2018.
However, before their marriage, the couple had already started their passion project of renovating houses for commercial purposes.
In 2016, they bought a homestead in the village of Glen Alice called Warramba for $430,000.
With the help of a school friend, the passionate couple renovated the house by adding pools and extra interiors. Two years later, they listed it on Airbnb, charging around $600 for a one-night stay.
Similarly, after selling the Sydney house, their second property, Edwina and her husband bought their third one, Saltash Farm, in Carcoar in May 2023.
Talking about the renovation process, Edwina said, “A new chapter for the town time forgot. A new full-time project for us. A new side hustle for me in addition to waking up with you every morning on @sunriseon7.” The redesigning process is still not completed, but they plan to finish it by 2025.
In addition to her house-buying activities, Edwina had to pay a $20,000 fine to Seb Costello, a fellow reporter, in 2019 for inappropriately mentioning him on social media.
Regretting her actions, she said, “I unreservedly apologize to Seb and his family for the hurt and offense my words caused.“
Right now, Edwina is suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia, which is a form of blood and bone marrow cancer, resulting in a halt in her property-restoration activities.
