The tight end for the New England Patriots, Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski did not think twice in making a major house upgrade when the opportunity presented itself. The 29-year-old football star moved to a penthouse located in Boston’s Seaport District worth $2.2 million, a major change from his Tampa bachelor pad. Gronkowski’s sleek 2,063 square foot apartment offers 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a private office, and a fully loaded kitchen.
During his career, Rob Gronkowski achieved five Pro-Bowl selections. In 2011, he became the first tight end in NFL history to lead the league in receiving touchdowns. It looks like he’s got a great touchdown in Boston’s Seaport District.
DeMarcus Ware – Denver, Estimated $1.3 Million
When DeMarcus Ware decided to retire from pro-football, away for the first time from the wear and tear of such a grueling sport, he decided to spend the rest of his days living a life of comfort.
The former outside linebacker and defensive end gave up his Dallas mansion for a three-story townhouse in an exclusive subdivision in Denver. Ware invested $1.37 million in cold cash in this posh property that includes 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. This property is situated in the secure and exclusive neighborhood of Cherry Creek North in Denver, which is a great place for a tough athlete to relax and recuperate.
Joe Haden – Lamborghini Aventador, Estimated $1.1 Million
You’d be hard pressed to find anyone, especially a wealthy athlete, who does not dream of owning a Lamborghini some day down the road. It is exquisitely designed, powerful, and captivating, but it is also very much above the majority’s pay grade.
Joe Haden, the Cleveland Browns’ cornerback, however, owns not one, but two of these Italian sports cars. It’s like a double dream come true. His very first was the white Lamborghini Murciélago, and then there’s the custom 2014 Lamborghini Aventador, that matches his team’s colors, in fierce orange and brown.
Larry Fitzgerald – Mercedes Benz SL550, Estimated $100K
Since 2004, Larry Fitzgerald has been a wide end receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. Each year that he has dedicated himself to overcoming the competition and concentrating on the game, his bank account has grown bigger. By how much, we can only imagine.
As a manifestation of his wealth, Fitzgerald is a happy owner of a restored classic Mustang Shelby, a red BMW 745i, a black Rolls Royce, and an orange S class Range Rover. And of course, we can’t leave out his absolute favorite, the silver Mercedes Benz SL550, worth over $100,000. We’re out of words, simply in awe.
Brandon Marshall – Southwest Ranches, Estimated $5 Million
Brandon Marshall has earned hundreds of millions of dollars along the way, playing for the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, New York Giants, New York Jets, Chicago Bears and the Miami Dolphins, since breaking into the NFL in 2006. His latest stint, although a short one, was with the New Orleans Saints.
The veteran free agent has reportedly decided to let go of his Southwest Ranches. He’s selling it for a hefty $5 million. This huge property features 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, a spa, a gym, an entertainment room, and a full-sized basketball court. Is Marshall seriously letting go of this treasure? Yes, but only for a bigger replacement, perhaps. Reports say he is currently checking out prime properties in New Jersey.
