Fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood and his wife Snezana are listing their jointly owned $7.15 million home in Brighton for sale after he was arrested on domestic violence charges. The property, which has not been occupied by the couple since they purchased it nine months ago, includes a tennis court and pool but is currently vacant and mortgage-free to ANZ. Wood awaits his next court appearance following an alleged violent assault of Snezana during a family holiday in October; he was denied bail and remains in custody. The real estate listing comes as part of the fallout from the arrest, which also led billionaire Dennis Bastas to terminate Wood’s role with his fitness empire.
