Aaron Rodgers is gearing up for what he claims will be his final NFL season, and it seems the star quarterback is also prepping for a big life change off the field. In a surprising move, Rodgers has put his impressive Malibu mansion on the market with a hefty price tag of $39.5 million. This isn't just any house – it's a dazzling oceanfront property that screams SoCal luxury.
Rodgers, known for his time with the Green Bay Packers and now the Pittsburgh Steelers, originally purchased this slice of paradise in 2019 for $28 million. Back then, he was dating former racing celebrity Danica Patrick. If he nails his target asking price, he's looking at an increase of $11.5 million in value over seven years – not too shabby, right? Of course, the Malibu home isn't the only property in his real estate lineup.
“Whatever Rodgers has planned for retirement, apparently a $39.5 million Malibu mansion isn't part of it,” remarks one insider.
This Malibu gem has a history almost as captivating as its ocean views. Once owned by British pop star Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field, the home was sold to Rodgers for $28 million. Before that, Netflix executive Ted Sarandos called it home, having purchased it for $19.25 million. Now, Rodgers is asking $39.5 million, making this mansion's value climb as impressive as its architectural design.
Spanning 0.61 acres, the estate features a three-story main house and a separate guest house. Indoor-outdoor living is the name of the game here, thanks to mesmerizing ocean views, disappearing glass walls, and terraces. With warm wood accents and custom finishes, the home also boasts a large open kitchen, a home gym, and a breathtaking primary suite. Outside, the luxury continues with a pool, spa, and a unique private funicular that provides direct beach access.
Malibu is just one stop in Rodgers' real estate shake-up. The quarterback is also selling properties in Wisconsin and New Jersey. In Wisconsin, he's listed a sprawling estate that he picked up for just over $1.7 million in 2015, now hoping to sell it for $3.7 million. Across the country in New Jersey, his mansion near Montclair is on the market for $15 million, a notable listing considering his brief stint with the New York Jets.
With a career's worth of earnings exceeding $400 million and a net worth of $250 million, Rodgers' lifestyle adjustments are certainly noteworthy. As he looks towards retirement, it's clear that he no longer needs properties scattered near NFL facilities. His Malibu mansion represents a different kind of asset, one that perhaps no longer fits into his post-football life plans. Whatever direction Rodgers chooses, it's clear he's making moves as bold as his career on the field.
