Tom Brady - Miami
Indian Creek Island in Miami is the epitome of luxury. At least only 30 homes occupy this horseshoe-shaped island, earning it the nickname "billionaire bunker." Adriana Lima, Jared Kushner, and NFL star Tom Brady are some of the most famous residents in this area. He and his former model wife, Gisele Bündchen, shelled out $17 million for this lavish abode.
Brady scored a nice place on this island, known for its exclusivity and privacy. According to Dirt, the former celebrity couple planned to tear down the house erected on the 5,172-square-foot lot. The original structure has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and sits on a two-acre lot.
Aaron Rodgers - San Diego
The celebrated Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had lived in the Del Mar estate for over a decade before he put it on the market. He listed it on the market in October 2021 and sold it the same year for $5.13 million, which may be slightly below the asking price, but it was still not a significant loss for the athlete.
The home sprawls over 5,770 square feet and boasts vaulted ceilings, rustic wood floors, and green quartzite countertops in the kitchen. There are four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. And the property has been significantly renovated since the late '80s.
Patrick Mahomes – Kansas City
Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, lives in a stunning mansion in Sunset Hills West, an exclusive suburb of Kansas City. The property spans 4,343 square feet and is worth $2 million. According to sources, the ranch house, built in 1953, has three bedrooms, a private swimming pool, and an extensive wine cellar.
Mahomes and his partner Brittany Matthews, both athletes, purchased the property in February 2019 and made it their home. In 2022, rumors have it that the athlete and his family were planning to score a more extensive property following his lucrative 10-year contract with Kansas City Chiefs.
Josh Allen - Orchard Park, New York
Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen is considered one of the most successful NFL players, and his Orchard Park, New York, home proves he has banked a lot from the franchise. His lavish lifestyle is evident in his two-story building that boasts a two-car garage.
Although rumors have it that the property is only worth $851,500, the structure has four bedrooms, a cozy fireplace, and plenty of space for relaxation. Allen also enjoys the benefits of being close to the Highmark Stadium, which serves as the home field for the Buffalo Bills. Plus, the accommodation is relatively new as it was only built in 2017.
Lamar Jackson - Maryland
NFL star Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens quarterback, purchased an 8-bedroom, brick home in 2018 for $900K. It may not be as expensive as the other properties on this list, but it features a two-story foyer, whirlpool hot tub, curved staircase, wood floors, crown moldings, gym, private pool and spa, two fireplaces, office, and a large patio.
Moreover, the house has a 3-car garage and is conveniently situated on a lot only 20 minutes from the Ravens' facility. It was purchased through his mother's LLC and was then pegged at $1.2 million before selling. Since then, it's risen to at least $1.3 million.
Russell Wilson - Denver
How much are we willing to spend on a house? It may not even be an option to some due to the skyrocketing property prices, but for NFL athlete Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara, $25 million is enough for an abode.
That's because that was how much they shelled out for this luxurious Colorado mansion, said to be the most paid-for house in the area.
The floor plan includes four bedrooms and seven bathrooms. But this three stories home has many impressive features like a grand double-height foyer with a magnificent floating circular staircase, six fireplaces, and multiple entertainment areas.
Derrick Henry - Dallas
Derrick Henry, the Tennessee Titans running back, purchased a new home in Dallas for an undisclosed price in March 2022. However, it was listed for $1.69 million, so it is safe to say that the athlete snatched the dig around the same tag. According to some sources, the contemporary property was still under construction at the time.
Well, we're not surprised that he decided to buy a house in this area because he is no stranger to the Lone Star State, as he was often seen working out in Sanders Fit gym in Dallas. Plus, what's not to love about his new home, which features floor-to-ceiling windows?
Cooper Kupp - Westlake, California
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp helped his team win against the Cincinnati Bengals during the Super Bowl in 2022, but that's not the only feat he achieved. He and his wife Anna also successfully unloaded their Westlake Village property for almost $5.3 million, which may be $850K less than their original asking price but is still $1 million more than their purchase price.
This Mediterranean house is in a gated community, home to many famous celebrities like Heather Locklear and YouTube star Trisha Paytas. The 1992 construction has since been upgraded to include five en-suite bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms.
Justin Herbert - Eugene, Oregon
Even when athlete Justin Herbert was drafted into the NFL in 2020 and had been garnering praise for his playing skills, he is still a homebody and prefers to dine in. He signed a $27-million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, but in an interview with ESPN, he revealed that he refused to buy food from Whole Foods because of how expensive commodities can get.
With that said, we're not surprised that he has yet to buy his own property. Several sources claim that Herbert stays with his parents in Eugene, Oregon, whenever he goes home. And he often travels there whenever he has free time from training.
Travis Kelce - Kansas City
Tight end Travis Kelce is not one to hit the brakes when it comes to luxury, especially when it comes to his abode. In 2019, the Chiefs player purchased a seven-bedroom property in the Briarcliff West neighborhood for $995K. Before this sale, the place was renovated in 2007 to make renovations on the upper and main floors.
The New York Post also noted that Kelce also lives in a posh building called One Light Luxury, right in the middle of town. His unit boasts high ceilings, which give an unobstructed view of the surroundings. Plus, the athlete is also generous enough to buy a building for kids.
Tyreek Hill - Miami
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill purchased a mansion in South Florida for a whopping $6.9 million. Reportedly built in 2007, the European-style home spans at least 9,000 square feet and has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. This came on the heels of his massive deal worth $120 million for four years in 2022.
Some of the lavish amenities include a pool, glass showers, and a beautiful fountain. Hill also added a touch of his own taste by adding an arcade room and a podcast recording room. More fitting to his active lifestyle are facilities like a full basketball court and spa.
Jalen Ramsey - Hidden Hills, California
Many athletes on this list scored new digs following their lucrative contracts, and Los Angeles Rams star Jalen Ramsey is no exception. In 2020, he bought a $9.5-million mansion in an exclusive community in Hidden Hills. It was brand-new when he purchased it after "America's Got Talent" star Howie Mandel got it made.
The farmhouse-style mansion spans 10,000 square feet and features two tones. The open-plan space also boasts oak hardwood floors and foldaway glass doors that let natural light seep in. Fitting for a celebrity, Dirt said the mansion is apt for Ramsey because of the eucalyptus trees surrounding the property.
Aaron Donald - Hidden Hills, California
In 2022, Rams player Aaron Donald made an extra $1.5 million when he sold his Calabasas home. Following this sale, he scored a Hidden Hills mansion worth $17.1 million, which features a farmhouse-style interior. His neighbors are no less than coach Sean McVay and teammate Matthew Stafford.
Donald made a great deal despite the staggering price because this property was first listed for $21.5 million. The original structure was built in 1983 before it underwent significant renovations to exude urban and luxurious vibes. Now the house has eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a game room, mirrored gym, and a movie theater.
T.J. Watt - Wisconsin
In 2017, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt was offered a $9-million deal that extended for four years. Rumors have it that the athlete shelled out $2.5 million for a property that spans 15,000 square feet. According to USAToday, it has eight bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, meaning guests can choose which part of the house to answer the call of nature.
Although we should take this with a pinch of salt, it is worth noting that the location of the said property is where he hails from. Plus, with his earnings, we are not surprised if he made a big-ticket investment.
Joe Burrow - Ohio
Joe Burrow cultivated his career as a quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, so it's understandable if fans think the NFL star has made some impressive purchases. The truth is, he isn't a fan of spending frivolously and still lives with his parents.
According to The Sun, Burrow, who is a 2019 College Football Playoff National Champion and a Heisman Trophy recipient, loves to keep his foot on the ground and plans to save his earnings. He even quipped that he had become a millionaire in his parent's basement–and this statement is not unfounded. According to several leading media outlets, Burrow's rookie deal costs $36.2 million!
Justin Jefferson - Minnesota
Vikings star Justin Jefferson knows something about luxury because he earns quite a lot from his profession. When he became a millionaire, the athlete spent his money on jewelry, specifically on a Jets bejeweled piece and a $50K pink ring that fans may have seen. Essentially Sports also noted that he bought an AMG Mercedes GT 63 worth $150K, which some people call the Batmobile.
Then, Jefferson shelled out $405K for a Minnesota house a few minutes away from the team's training facility. Although we do not know any other details about the property, it is safe to assume that it exudes luxury.
DeAndre Hopkins - Arizona
Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins didn't have the best 2022 after he got suspended following his NFL violation. On top of this, he was also at the receiving end of harsh comments from his neighbors in Arizona because he rented his place out, and the tenants would party until the wee hours of the morning.
According to CheatSheet, Hopkins bought this mansion for $5.1 million, a discounted price because the original listing demanded $8 million. The corner lot structure has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms and features a contemporary minimalist interior inspired by Australian architect Glenn Murcutt. Unfortunately, in 2023, Hopkins was suspended for violating NFL rules.
Ezekiel Elliott - Texas
Dallas Cowboys player Ezekiel Elliott was selected in the 4th overall of the 2016 NFL Draft and had been impressing fans with his skills. Because of his talent, he landed a very lucrative deal that was said to be worth $90 million, which is most probably why he can afford the best things in life, like his Texas abode, a chateau-style mansion that spans 7,518 square feet.
Although the price for the abode is up for debate, it is nonetheless very luxurious. Apart from the four bedrooms and five bathrooms, this structure, built in 2004, was renovated by the previous owner.
Saquon Barkley - Undisclosed
There's only a handful of people who remain grateful to their parents despite their successes, and the list includes New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley. In 2018, he made his mom and dad proud when he purchased them a home, something that he promised when he was a boy.
Although Barkley shared a snap of the house's facade, the NFL star didn't reveal any more details about his residence. From the picture, we can tell that the cobblestone, as well as the cream and brown themes, make it seem homier. According to Sportscasting, the athlete is worth $31.2 million.
Alvin Kamara - New Orleans
New Orleans Saints player Alvin Kamara is not like his teammates in the sense that he doesn't prefer to live near their training facility. Instead, he decided to get his own ground-floor apartment with big windows. He is so laid-back that Nola noted that the athlete walks home and takes pictures with his fans.
Urban Splatter, however, explains that Kamara resides in a quiet suburban nook in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The house, built in 1985, has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and spans over 2,000 square feet. It also features an expansive backyard where he and his teammates could spend time.
Dalvin Cook - Miami
NFL star Dalvin Cook stayed true to his name when he revealed that he had been trying to cook in his house. Although he failed to see the entirety of his home, the athlete gave a glimpse of his kitchen to ESPN in 2019. He even took cooking lessons to take his skills to the next level.
Apart from the stove and microwave, Cook's kitchen also featured some trophies and protective headgear he received, which was interesting because this isn't something often seen in this part of the house. No matter what his house looks like, we're sure his favorite spot is his kitchen.
Michael Thomas - Los Angeles
Unlike most NFL stars, Michael Thomas preferred to rent out, but make no mistake: it also cost an arm and a leg! In 2021, the athlete stayed in a luxurious house with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. On top of this, the Bel-Air abode also has a gym and pool, perfect for late-night parties and events.
While he paid $180K to cover two months' rent and the deposit before moving in, Thomas lamented that he faced many problems with the property, including issues with the garage door, kitchen appliances, and pool. The reps also reportedly showed up during his training sessions unannounced.
Nick Bosa - Fort Lauderdale
Shortly after landing his first contract, 49ers Nick Bosa shelled out money for a luxurious condo in Fort Lauderdale. This high-end development has units that are two stories and boast luxury amenities such as a pool and gym. Each unit is between 2,100-2,400 square feet with 2,500 square feet of total indoor and outdoor living space.
Prices may go from $1.2 million to $1.55 million, which Bosa could have easily afforded. According to SFGate, the star has always been grateful to Fort Lauderdale because it was where he grew up. He is also particularly fond of the beach.
Myles Garrett - Ohio
Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett took his Halloween decorations to the next level when he added gravestones with NFL stars Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson's names written on them. Although Garrett didn't give a tour of his property, Urban Splatter notes that his mansion has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
With 4,500 square feet of living space, the structure has a state-of-the-art kitchen with modern appliances and a fireplace. The interior boasts a mix of contemporary and homey themes with black, white, and brown hues. Garrett's property said to be worth $1.49 million, also has three parking spaces.
Baker Mayfield - Ohio
When NFL star Baker Mayfield signed with the Cleveland Browns, he and his wife, Emily Wilkinson, had been living in their Ohio house. They moved there before marriage but had to leave in 2022 when they went to North Carolina. While a Progressive Insurance ad suggested the pair lived in a stadium, there's no truth to that.
They have a very cozy home in Cleveland, which, Wilkinson said, is filled with earthy colors. According to an article on The List, the statement walls and bespoke furniture are all earth tones. The couple preferred to complement their home's color palette with a lot of texture.
Matt Stafford - Hidden Hills, California
Matt Stafford has been living the sweet life in Los Angeles, so much so that he spent an insane amount of money on different properties. However, in 2021, he decided to unload his swanky mansion for $21 million, which earned him and Kelly $1.4 million from their purchase price.
Ideally situated on a knoll, this luxurious abode is the brainchild of architect firm 64North. On top of the six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, there is a fitness center, movie theater, temperature-controlled wine rooms, and a wellness suite. The main house aside, a separate guesthouse and a six-car garage are also great features.
Christian McCaffrey - North Carolina
NFL star Christian McCaffrey's skills made him a popular name in the biz, resulting in many endorsement deals with prominent companies such as Visa, Pepsi, Lowe's, Body Armour, USAA, Bose, Visa, Hulu, Nike, Gillette, and Verizon. These are the reasons he is worth millions these days. He spends his earnings on big-ticket purchases, including his palace-like abode in North Carolina.
Called Grand Lac Chateau, the property spans 8.5 acres and boasts a stunning view from the infinity pool. This massive mansion has six bedrooms and a home theater, which makes it fitting for sports royalty like San Francisco 49ers star McCaffrey.
Davante Adams - Las Vegas
In June 2022, Green Bay Packers star Davante Adams got $575K richer when he unloaded his De Pere abode, which he purchased for $429,250. Reportedly built in 2015, the house spans 3,436 square feet and has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. However, it is worth noting that he also shelled out $12 million for a Las Vegas mansion earlier that year.
Although details about this remain scarce, what is known is that it is situated in a posh neighborhood. This, however, prompted trade rumors as his contract was nearing its end at the time. Plus, analysts see him as one of the most skilled.
George Kittle - Nashville
San Francisco 49ers George Kittle and his wife Claire often chose to stay home in Nashville whenever he wasn't training. The pair, along with their pets, Deenie and Bernedoodle, remained in this town for a long time. In order to remodel the compound, they worked with Home Base.
Speaking to Niners Nation, Kittle shared that it was important to have his barn and a fitness center on his property because he wanted everything he needed to be near him. More importantly, he also added dedicated rooms for yoga, massage, and recovery, which would be perfect for his days off.
Rob Gronkowski - Tampa
The celebrated NFL player Rob Gronkowski used to be the proud owner of this waterfront property in Tampa, having bought it in 2012 for $1.6 million. Spanning 4,781 square feet, the athlete eventually sold it for $2.4 million because he didn't have much time to visit the place. The picture doesn't give justice to the amenities.
Some of the luxurious features include a wet bar, an elevator, a surround sound system, and built-in fish tanks. At first glance, this property with brown and cream touches may look like a resort, which speaks a lot about how lavish Gronkowski's mansion was.
Mike Evans - Tampa
Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans has been buying many properties since he first signed a contract with the NFL team. In 2018, he purchased a $1.2-million residence in Tampa. Although that sounds modest compared to others on this list, it is justified given the home's luxurious features, such as a pool and a separate guesthouse.
The custom-built house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and spans 4,393 square feet. Guests will see a contemporary interior as well as beam ceilings and French doors. Still, this is perfect for Evans and his wife Ashli, who also have other beautiful properties.
Julio Jones - Atlanta
Atlanta Falcons star Julio Jones looked forward to unloading his penthouse in Atlanta for $2.65 million in 2022. The decision came just a few weeks after he signed with the Buccaneers. He planned to earn a little because he bought it for $2.3 million four years prior. Part of the W Atlanta Residences, his property boasts breathtaking views of the sky as well as the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Jones also lived comfortably in the two-story unit because it had posh amenities like a billiard room, media room, and wet bar. Luxurious wall designs and paintings and a Sonos audio system are added features.
Calvin Ridley - Atlanta
Falcons star Calvin Ridley showed off his beautiful residence to Sports Mansion and even gave his fans a treat when he toured them through a video. However, people say this was one of the reasons the bad guys knew there was a lot to score from his property. Indeed, the athlete's house was the target of a string of burglaries in 2022.
Ridley's home has an all-white interior, which makes it look spacious. Only a few accent pieces, such as colorful paintings, serve as a contrast to the plain walls. The kitchen and the bedrooms are also with white themes, with only a few touches of gray and black.
