It seems $25million is not enough to convince Russell Crowe to part with his luxurious Finger Wharf apartment.

The apartment takes up a whole floor, is 1000 square metres, has seven car spaces and is located in Sydney's upmarket suburb of Woolloomooloo.

Russell paid $14.35m for the complex in 2003 but he was hoping to nearly double his money, asking for up to $30 million.

The Australian actor has now taken the property off the market altogether despite receiving an offer of about $25 million.

The 52-year-old did, however, double his money on his less luxurious Kingsford unit block, located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

He made a cool $3.2m profit for the apartment building he originally paid $1.45m for in 2001, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The Hollywood film star bought the property 15 years ago when he was part of the infamous rock group 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts.

The block went up for sale at the end of last year, when Russell is understood to have told his friends who lived there it would be used 'as part of a divorce settlement'.

The Gladiator actor is understood to be close to closing his divorce settlement with his wife of nine years, Australian singer Danielle Spencer.

The former couple were married in 2003 and separated in October, 2012. They share two young sons, Charles, 13 and Tennyson, 10.

Russell has an extensive property portfolio in Australia, including 400 hectares of land around his Nana Glen Ranch, near Coffs Harbour.

The Daily Telegraph reports that the Oscar winner may well be 'one of NSW's largest private land owners'.
