NBA Star Luka Doncic Buys Maria Sharapova’s Custom-Built £18.5 Million Mansion
Tennis legend Maria Sharapova has sold her custom-designed LA mansion to basketball star Luka Doncic for an eye-watering sum.
NBA superstar Luka Doncic has snapped up Maria Sharapova’s £18.5million mansion. The
Doncic, 26, acquired the property through his business manager, Lara Beth Seager,
The three-story house was custom-built in 2015 by KAA Design and sits on just under a quarter-acre lot. It boasts remarkable sea views and state-of-the-art facilities. It has two bowling lanes built into it and an adjacent media room. There is also an outside pool and a seating area for when friends and family are over, as well as a built-in bench, which Sharapova is said to use regularly to read poolside.
The property also includes big walls of greenery surrounding it to ensure that its occupants have plenty of privacy, and the outside sitting area is roofed to prevent bad weather from spoiling time around the firepit.
The home is decorated elegantly and practically, with plenty of modern storage space to hide items away in every room. The bathrooms are also decked out with free-standing baths and with his-and-hers vanity design sinks.
The former world No. 1 tennis star told Architectural Digest in 2019 that she was "obsessed with the process of making [the] home" and was inspired by Japanese architecture and minimalist aesthetics. “I’d jump off a plane from a tournament and go straight to the worksite or to the architect’s office or to a kitchen manufacturer," she said.
"This was my project, and I wasn’t going to delegate any part of it. I’ve traveled all over the world and enjoyed lots of incredible spaces," she added. "But my home is my absolute favorite. I think that’s the way it should be.”
Russian-born Sharapova enjoyed a 19-year career on the court, first bursting onto the scene by winning a Wimbledon title in 2004 as a mere 17-year-old. She beat Serena Williams in straight sets, which firmly placed her as one of the most exciting talents in the sport. And she fulfilled her potential in the form of French Open, Australian Open and US Open titles before hanging up her racket in 2020.
Isaiah Rodgers Makes NFL History with Record-Breaking Defensive Performance Against Bengals
You know, sometimes you watch a football game and think, “Okay, that was a solid performance.” And then there are days like Sunday in Minneapolis, where you witness something so utterly dominant, so ludicrously one-sided, that you can’t believe it. This, my friends, was the Isaiah Rodgers show. The Cincinnati Bengals were just the unfortunate, unwilling guest stars
Rodgers Puts On a Defensive Masterclass
Let’s just get the raw, unbelievable stats out of the way. In the first half alone, Vikings Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers became the first player in the long,
First, Rodgers decided he’d play a little wide receiver. After a Jake Browning pass got tipped, Rodgers snagged it and sprinted 87 yards down the sideline for a pick-six. His teammates mobbed him, fanning him down like he was James Brown after a particularly funky set. But Rodgers wasn’t done. He apparently told them, “I’m not done yet,” which is the coldest thing you can say before going out and being even colder.
The Unbelievable Encore By Rodgers
Not long after, with the two-minute warning just passed, Rodgers saw Bengals Tight End Noah Fant secure a short pass. “That’s a nice football you have there,” Rodgers must have thought, “it’d be a shame if someone… punched it out.” He did exactly that, scooped up the loose ball, and rumbled 67 yards for
But wait, there’s more! On the Bengals’ very next possession, Rodgers located superstar Ja’Marr Chase and promptly forced
For a guy who was suspended in 2023 and bounced around a bit before landing in Minnesota, this was more than just a great game. This was a statement. This was an announcement to the entire league: “I’m here, and I’ll be taking the football now, thank you very much.” And for one historic half, nobody could do a single thing to stop him.
