Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons are being slammed online after listing their Sydney home for sale for more than $23million.
The couple purchased the landmark Cremorne home, called Ingleneuk, in 1998 for $2.95million.
After raising their three children in the impressive property, the pair are looking to downsize, reports the Australian Financial Review.
The listing has attracted its fair share of online trolls, with many criticising the disparity between the media power couple’s wealth and their left-leaning political stances.
‘Progressives Lisa Wilkinson and potential Republic President Peter Fitzsimons are selling their house! A steal at $23m! Is Albo appointing them to the UN or something?’ one person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘”Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons list Sydney home for $23 million” They should let immigrants live in this big house,’ wrote another.

Peter, 64, is a strong advocate for Australian republicanism, having previously chaired the Australian Republican Movement.
He has also been vocal regarding his views on green policies and sustainability over the years.
He and wife Lisa, 65, both support left-wing ideals when it comes to politics, even throwing an election night party to celebrate Anthony Albanese’s triumph in 2022.
A glittering array of actors, politicians and TV stars flooded the multimillion-dollar harbourside mansion, with none other than Simon Baker in attendance.
Ingleneuk boasts one of the largest landholdings on the north shore with more than 3,200 sqm, after Lisa and Peter restored the land to its original proportions.
The property was subdivided decades before the media stars purchased it, but they later recombined the two adjoining lots for dual street frontage.
Notable architect Henry Wilshire, the son of Sydney’s second mayor, James Wilshire, first designed the home for merchant Charles Crossman.

The mansion, in its original Edwardian condition, offers panoramic harbour and city views, and has retained all its remarkable features, including prominent eaves.
Lisa hired heritage architect Clive Lucas to restore some details of the sprawling home, including its original fence posts, fretwork and maid’s bell.
The buyer will enjoy a sunroom, gourmet kitchen, library, multiple gas and wood fireplaces, leadlight doors, and ornate timber flooring.
A heated pool and pavilion surrounded by Will Dangar-designed manicured gardens are also included, as well as approved plans for a triple garage with a studio room.
