Australia spinner Nathan Lyon got separated from his first wife Melissa Waring in 2017. Just three years after his divorce, he bought a house worth $3.8 million with his then-partner (current wife) Emma McCarthy. The house is located at Tennyson Point, which is a riverside suburb near Sydney. Readers must note that Lyon hails from New South Wales.

Furthermore, Lyon is not the only Australian cricketer to have actively invested in properties. His teammates such as Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, etc. all own luxurious apartments around the country. Unlike some of the above mentioned names, Lyon didn’t buy a home post securing a hefty Indian Premier League contract.
Before moving to his current house, Lyon lived at two different homes with his first wife – first at Oyster Bay and then at Port Hacking. At a loss of $200,000, the Port Hocking house was sold at a price of $3,615,000 in 2020 itself. However, Lyon’s house at Tennyson Point is said to be the best of the lot.
