The Daily Telegraph reported Phoebe had walked away with 70 per cent of the former couple’s marital wealth, including an F45 gym bought in the names of Sam Burgess and her older sister Jemima’s husband Gene Fairbanks in 2015.
She has since sold the gym.
The former journalist, who now promotes herself as a brand ambassador, also kept a $100,000 Range Rover which she is regularly seen driving around Bowral.
The Burgesses sold their Lurline Bay property in Maroubra, a beachside suburb in Sydney’s east, in January for $5million.
