10. Derek Jeter

“Yeah Jeets Yeah!” Had to be going through his mind when Derek Jeter purchased what is now known to his Tampa Bay neighbors as “St. Jetersburg.” Standing at a whopping 30,000 square feet, Jeter’s home holds 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a spa, a pool, multiple yacht decks, and 2 3-car garages.
Jeter’s Tampa home is valued at $12,000,000.00. Oh yeah Jeets! Oh yeah.

okay… DDMCC I’ll admit it, I am a bit jealous… I’ve never understood why pro athletes (and actors) make the astronomical salaries they do. I understand ‘we’ who must take out a loan to afford tickets are the ones who make their talents in demand, but a 100 mil contract is just a bit much. (IMO) On a lighter note, I had to chuckle when I saw Michael Jordan’s home…. the length and width of his gate probably makes him the only person who can reach the other end of his home within 24 hours.

A lot of you people complain about athlete salaries but never complain about what the owners make. Take an economics class before you talk.

Stupidity….

Their homes are not unbelievable and I’m not jealous. People with too much money trying to out do each other.

There is no way that Kobe Bryant bought that mansion in Newport beach for $1.7 million. I lived in that area from 1990 through 1998 and there was nothing even back then, of this size or around that location that one could touch for less than $6 to $8 million.

Not saying I wouldn’t do the same thing if I got millions to play sports but look at these houses. They are the size of ten normal houses put together. It makes me wonder if any of them are a home with a family in it. So much space you could probably not see someone for weeks living there. Sometimes just a normal house with a average family can be a blessing. Then again, there are times you wish it was just you and your mega mansion.

Looks nice, but me jealous? No. I have 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 half baths, music room, living room, family room, dining room, nice neighborhood, all in less than 3000 sq ft house. I can only sleep on one bed in one bedroom. It’s paid for.What more do I want? I don’t like boats. Had a pool once, hardly swam in it.

I SEE ALOT OF VETERANS NOT ABLE TO BUY A HOME ON VA BUT THESE SPOILED TWERPS THINK A SPORT IS LIKE COMBAT! WELL IT’S NOT! I SPIT ON ALL OF THEM!
The GRIM! says
I AM A VET AND GOT MY HOME THRU VA! BUT I SEE KIDS MY SON PLAYS WITH FROM SCHOOL THAT LIVE IN APARTMENTS OR IN TRAILER PARKS THAT I HATE!
KIDS NEED HOMES, NICE ONES, NOT APARTMENTS!
IF I EVER WON THE LOTTERY I WOULD BUY HOMES FOR FAMILIES THAT NEED A GOOD HOME!
THIS IS JUST A DISGUSTING AS THAT TWIT KATY PERRY TRYING TO BUY A CONVENT FOR 15 MILLION IN LOS ANGELES!
AND HOW MANY KIDS I LOS ANGELES LIVE IN CRAPPY APARMENTS? THOUSANDS!
Robert Tulloch says
This is testimony to the broken values of American society. To pay some bonehead bouncing a ball on a court this kind of money is absurd. The salaries and tickets should suffer a 99% luxury tax should be used to educate inner city kids and steer them away from their pipe dreams.
Lincoln Pope says
No jealousy nor “hatin’ ” here. Some people go crazy over what these people get paid. If a team owner is willing to pay what they ask, hey, THAT’S AMERICA. Once the market can’t (or won’t) bear it, then they will either have to take a pay cut, or find another profession. Just like ticket prices. There are those that complain about THAT, then, complain about how much these athletes get paid as they are standing in line with a ticket to the event. If it’s a problem, DON’T GO. If you buy a ticket, then you are a hypocrite by supporting them when you purchase that ticket. All that aside, I don’t see why someone would want a 10,000 square foot house with 8 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, Olympic pool, and a 40 bay garage. But hey, to each his own.
