Home Sweet Home!!



Money can buy anything in the world. One thing that all pro athletes need to have is a big house which is called a mansion. Its ridiculous that athletes have to buy a house with 8 bathrooms and 10 bedrooms when theres only one person living there. Shaquel O'neal has his own basketball court, Chad Ochocinco has his own football field, and Serena Williams has her own tennis court; it too much for an house. Most houses has flat screen tvs everywhere in the house, a big kitchen, and all these expensive house furitures and appliances. We see way athletes are broke and don't have enough money after they retire or get injured.  Here are some prices  on professional athletes houses:
  • NY Yankees Mark Teixeira's house cost $3.995M
  • Pittsburgh Steelers Hines Ward's house cost  $7.5M
  • Cleveland Indians Derek Lowe house cost $3.495M
  • Michael Jordan's house cost $29M
  • Tennis player Mats Wilander's house cost $6M
  • Patriots Tom Brady's house cost $20M
Thats a lot of money for one house. I would never pay that much money for a house.
Michael Jordan's house is so nice and big. I love the outside of the mansion and the basketball court. Michael Jordan's house includes nine bedrooms, 15 baths and five fireplaces. There's also a three-bedroom guesthouse, pool area, outdoor tennis court and three climate-controlled multi-car garages. An indoor basketball complex features a full-size regulation court with specially cushioned hardwood flooring and competition-quality high intensity lighting. It has a sound system set up to provide perfect acoustics within the court space. It has 56,000 square feet of living space.Professional Athlete Homes said "Jordan’s new home is 28,000 sq-ft on 3 acres and includes 3 separate structures: guest house, pool house, and a 2-story guard house. The main house when complete will have a huge luxurious entryway, giant fireplace, an elevator, 11 bedrooms, a massive media center, basketball court and a lavish workout facility. Jordan bought the 2 lot property for $4.8M and is investing an additional $7.6M into the construction; once complete, he’ll have invested upwards of $20M in his new home". His house is beautiful and I wish I could live in there for an week.
All athletes has families that lives with them not only their spouse and their kids; they have friends, their mothers, and family members living there with them. Some athletes buy big house to show off their egos to women and groupies. Im not going to lie, if i had the money I would buy a big house too.

  1. You definitely have done your research here; you know the ins and outs of famous sports star's homes. But the flow of the text kind of threw me a bit. Who were your sources for all this data? Do sports stars live in these houses all alone? You say that athletes "need" to have a big house. Really? Or is it that they want to?
