Ultimate Sports Cribs: The Most Expensive Athlete Homes

Darren - March 10, 2023

Naomi Osaka

Osaka’s on-court success combined with her dual nationality makes her one of the most lucrative athletes in the world. The Japanese tennis star lives in the U.S. where she grew up. She made millions of dollars from multiple Grand Slam victories. Now she owns several outstanding houses like this Beverley Hills mansion.

She bought this one in Lose Angeles from Nick Jonas for about seven million. It sits in the mountains overlooking the city and enjoys a lot of privacy. The pictures tell the full story of this gorgeous house. There’s an amazing pool for Osaka and her young family as well as a beautiful natural aesthetic (via Tennis.com).

Michael Jordan

Jordan became the first billionaire in NBA history. It’s no surprise that he owns some of the most luxurious homes in the nation. The house above is in Chicago and has a value of over $20 million. The luxurious features include a cigar lounge and a full-size basketball court where M.J. practiced his game.

Jordan tried to sell the house for eight years without success. Meanwhile, he has this beautiful Park City mansion in Utah. He listed this one for about eight million dollars. The eight-bedroom home has views of the surrounding mountains and access to a private golf course. It celebrates the great outdoors in the best way (via Dwell.com).

Landon Donovan

Donovan is a soccer icon on the West Coast after his exploits with the L.A. Galaxy. He remains one of the most important players in USMNT history. Meanwhile, his profile and success helped him to achieve a lot of wealth. Donovan bought some luxurious homes including this Manhattan Beach gem.

The forward enjoyed life in this five-million-dollar compound during his heyday. It feels like a little slice of paradise with one of the best gardens on this list. The pool and surrounding greenery create a private Eden for the residents. Amazingly, Donovan recently sold this divine property (via Los Angeles Times).

LeBron James

Allegedly, ‘King James’ has a property portfolio worth $108 million. The NBA icon is the first active NBA player to become a billionaire. That’s because he’s also a brilliant businessman and is constantly seeking ways to generate income streams. Real estate is one of the most reliable ways to make money because he can flip houses.

It’s difficult to say where James’s main residence is because he owns at least three mansions in the L.A. area. Meanwhile, in the second picture, we can see another one he bought in Miami with access to two yachts. LeBron lives in a different universe from most of the ordinary people reading this list (via Architectural Digest).

Matthew Stafford

Stafford spent a decade in Detroit as one of the most underrated NFL quarterbacks. Then Sean McVay changed his life by bringing him to L.A. The signal caller enjoyed a new lifestyle in the Golden State with a beautiful home. He also bought a private vineyard to produce wine.

Amazingly, it may not have been easy for Stafford and his wife Kelly to give up life in Michigan. The pair had the state’s largest infinity pool outside of their old house. The duo is no strangers to luxurious homes but the Californian weather is a game-changer. We wish them all of the happiness in the world (via Detroit Free Press).

Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey and his long-term girlfriend Oliva Culpo enjoy one of the most lavish lifestyles in the NFL. The popular duo live in San Francisco after McCaffrey signed with the San Francisco 49ers in 2022. But it was hard for him to depart Charlotte because it meant that he left the fairytale castle above. He lived in this beautiful $7.5 million chateau during his days with the Panthers.

Most people might not expect an NFL running back and his model girlfriend to love living in nature. But that’s precisely what they enjoyed about one of the most luxurious homes in North Carolina. It’s believed that they rented a property in the Bay Area before entering the market again (via Page Six).

Cristiano Ronaldo

Allegedly, Ronaldo owns eight homes including this $2.3 million mansion in Australia above. The Portuguese superstar uses this property as a holiday residence but doesn’t go there every year. This is something that most people couldn’t fathom but he lives in a different universe because of his insane wealth (via GQ India).

Meanwhile, the former Real Madrid star bought the most expensive house in Portugal. He added the Madeira mansion to his portfolio for about seven million dollars. The superstar maintains a close connection to his home and wants to return there when he retires. He’ll spend his remaining days staring out over the stunning Atlantic Ocean.

Serena Williams

Williams is arguably the most successful female athlete in history. She earned hundreds millions from a legendary tennis career that saw her become a role model for women across the globe. After she retired, she returned to the Florida home that she designed with her sister, Venus. It’s a striking property that suits her needs (via Architectural Digest).

But this isn’t the superstar’s only property. She also has luxurious homes in Beverley Hills and Paris after spending a fortune on them. The picture above offers a glimpse into her Bel Air house and shows the stylish fittings. There’s no denying that Williams has better taste than some of the people on this list.

Floyd Mayweather

‘Money’ has more cash in his bank account than he knows what to do with. That’s why he has a $20 million car collection and a wild real estate portfolio. He recently bought this outrageous Las Vegas estate for $10 million. But he owns many more homes across the world of various sizes (via Sportskeeda).

This sprawling estate has two private guest houses as well as a vineyard. The 16,000 square-feet mansion has every feature that a billionaire could dream of. It’s one of the most luxurious homes in the region. Mayweather has many business ventures including his Las Vegas strip club, ‘Girl Collection.’

Terry Bradshaw

Bradshaw is one of the Steelers’ greatest-ever players and remains ever-present on TV screens. When he’s not insulting Andy Reid’s weight following the Super Bowl, he’s giving his views on the modern sport. Meanwhile, the veteran Pittsburgh legend owns an amazing ranch in Oklahoma with his wife, Tammy (via Forbes).

The former quarterback lives in the Red River Valley area of the Sooner State. This ranch is an equestrian’s dream with stalls for 50 horses and various equestrian facilities. There’s also room for other animals including cattle and pigs. It might not suit every athlete but Bradshaw loves country life. That’s why he spent over $20 million on this staggering ranch.

Dak Prescott

Few NFL players devote themselves to their craft like Prescott. He bought his massive Dallas home because of the huge grounds. Furthermore, he used the same contractor as AT&T Stadium for his practice area. Technically, Prescott lives in the suburb of Prosper where he bought this house for about $3.3 million.

It has all of the regular indoor features that millionaire athletes want. But this amazing property comes to life outside because it has a golf course, patios, and gardens. Allegedly, Prescott spent almost three million dollars on landscaping. It’s a shame that he suffers so many injuries on the field (via Boss Hunting).

Derek Jeter/Tom Brady

This is one of the most interesting luxurious houses on this list. Baseball legend Derek Jeter invested in this fabulous Tampa Bay mansion with an estimated value of $34 million. Brady and his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, spent $75,000 per month on rent. The seven-bedroom mansion has a giant pool and entertainment theater.

Meanwhile, there is a private dock for multiple boats and three garages for land vehicles. The amazing design embraces natural light and avoids being too tacky. It’s an outstanding property but it’s a shame that Brady didn’t spend much time with his family there. He infamously divorced Gisele in 2022 (via House Beautiful).
