Luis Robert may not have had a very productive season in 2022, but his offseason is off to a fast start. The 25-year-old outfielder purchased a megamansion in Weston, Florida, for $12.25 million. The price marked a record total in the city of Weston. Robert paid $5 million more than the next highest offer. South Florida Business Journal first reported the deal.
As it turns out, $12.25 million goes a long way. It is a house fit for a king. Robert’s new residence is 12,323 square feet. It features a whopping seven bedrooms and eleven bathrooms. Inside is a great room with retractable windows and doors and Turkish Carrara marble flooring. The house also includes the following:
- A soundproof home theater.
- A custom chef’s kitchen.
- A primary bedroom suite with a fireplace.
- A seating area that opens to the outside.
- A breakfast bar.
- A large dressing room.
- A bathroom with a soaking tub and two vanities.
The goal behind the design of the house was to create a “staycation,” according to Senada Adžem, one of the two people listing the house. “The clients wanted to create their own staycation home, a place where you can really enjoy the indoors and outdoors and feel like you never have to leave.”
It seems like that goal was accomplished. The property stretches 1.5 acres and sits in an equestrian-friendly gated community of Windmill Ranch Estates.
The house’s exterior has a pool with water and fire features, a lounge area, an indoor-outdoor game room, and a basketball court. Surrounding the home are manicured gardens and a butterfly sanctuary. If that isn’t enough, the listing also mentions several outdoor nooks for lounging, airconditioned loggias, and a custom-made trampoline large enough to require its own irrigation system.
Robert certainly has the money to spend. In 2020 Robert signed a six-year contract worth $50 million, including an annual average salary of $8,333,333. Following the 2022 season, he earned $10,055,556 of that total salary.
Robert is projected to be a future star in the MLB, but it hasn’t quite panned out just yet. Robert has been good but not great. Last season he batted .284 with 12 home runs and 56 RBIs. A wrist injury sustained on August 12th limited his production during the season’s final months. He has posted solid numbers in his first two seasons but is looking to take that next step in 2023.
Daniel JOCKELL absolutely ridiculous excuse for a sports informative Outlet what is your budget $8 a day never seen such ridiculousness
Now Luis can start considering fitness and meditation so he can stay as healthy as the players in the 50’s who were making $25,000 a year.
I’ll never understand why somebody would begrudge a person earning as much as they want. Athletes are worth what someone is will to pay. It’s that simple. God bless go get as much as you can
When people live like kings just for hitting a little ball around, that’s a sign of a decaying society
