It's a record for Australia in 2009, and Murdoch beat out 9 other bidders including Aussie actors Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.

Le Mansion, doesn't have its French name simply to be snooty, it was the French Government's former consulate.

It has views from the Sydney Harbor to the Pacific Ocean.
