He reportedly signed a new seven-figure contract with Channel Seven earlier this year after stepping in to replace Andrew O’Keefe as host of The Chase.
And Larry Emdur isn’t afraid to splash some of that heard-earned cash, with the 56-year-old television personality recently buying a derelict block in Berowra Waters for $1million.
It’s just the latest in a string of acquisitions by Larry and his wife of 26 years, Sylvie, who in recent years have been quietly assembling an impressive property portfolio across New South Wales.

Neverfail Bay
According to the Daily Telegraph, Larry and Sylvie recently purchased a ‘derelict bushland block’ in Neverfail Bay.
The reclusive property, along the banks of Berowra Creek, is only accessible by boat.
The block of land, which last sold for $575,000 in 1999, was purchased by the Emdurs for $1million.

The high-flying couple’s last purchase before Neverfail Bay was an architecturally designed weekender, also in Berowra Waters, two years ago.
The riverfront property was purchased in 2019 for $1.1million, and included a home with 5m-high ceilings and an almost entirely glass wall facing the river.
‘The magical bay is much quieter than Bondi,’ Larry told realestate.com.au at the time.

Kangaroo Valley holiday home
At about the same time, the Emdurs spent $2.15million on a stylish shipping-container home in Kangaroo Valley.
The house, which was designed by architect Alexander Michael in 2018, blends steel, glass and polished concrete floors with eco-friendly touches, such as solar panels with a battery bank and rainwater harvesting.
They’ve listed the ultra-modern property as a holiday rental for approximately $1,000 per night.

Bondi Beach investment
Earlier this year, Larry sold his investment apartment in Bondi Beach for $1.055million at its scheduled auction.
The former Price is Right game show host managed to secure a buyer for the home, which had been collecting $850 a week in rent.
He first bought the Art Deco pad for $400,000 in 2001, and sold it for $65,000 above the reserve price.

Dover Heights mansion
In 2017, Larry and Sylvie sold their clifftop mansion in Dover Heights for a record $11.5million to celebrity account Anthony Bell.
The deal was easily the biggest ever for a house in the sought-after beachside suburb, which is home to many well-heeled socialites.
Mr Bell’s purchase smashed the $9.5million paid in 2014 for a similar mansion by South African tech investor Kevin Bermeister and his wife, Beverley.
The Emdurs had paid $6.8million for the luxury home in 2011.
They had lived in the suburb for more than two decades, having upgraded from the house they paid $770,000 for in 1994.

The Rocks
After selling up in Dover Heights, the couple had a change of scenery by moving into a $3million apartment in The Rocks, which had been converted from a heritage-listed Cadbury depot.
The three-bedroom property features an open plan master bedroom with its own bathtub.
Tanner Kibble Denton Architects designed the conversion of the 1924 chocolate depot into six luxury apartments.

Daughter Tia’s Bellevue Hill apartment
In 2018, Larry and Sylvie pitched in to help their daughter, Tia, now 22, buy an apartment in Sydney’s Bellevue Hill.
Together, the Emdur family spent $1.08million on the three-bedroom, one-bathroom unit that is only five minutes away from their former family home in Bondi.
Tia’s new home had previously sold for $525,000 in 2007.
