isn’t throwing punches, he’s chilling out in a fairly modest Las Vegas home that he’s owned for the past six years. One of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, earning more than $400 million over the course of his professional boxing career, Tyson shelled out a mere $2.5 million for the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate back in 2015. Located in Henderson, Nevada — a few minutes from Sin City — it is the sole property that the “The Baddest Man on the Planet” owns.
Unfortunately for the legendary pugilist, his net worth diminished significantly when he was forced to declare bankruptcy in 2003 after finding himself drowning in $23 million worth of debt, The Post reported at the time. Tyson also reportedly tore through $300 million over the years on multiple homes, cars, jewels and, of course, pet tigers. And although still a considerably large estate by the average American standards, it doesn’t quite scream someone who was once worth a half-billion dollars.
Today, average celebrity homes cost around $20 million. The Post has obtained photos of the home’s interior. Situated on over 0.75 acres of land in the upscale Seven Hills neighborhood, the home does come with a lot of space — spanning 10,400 square feet, to be exact.
It also features two casitas, including one full apartment. Amenities include a media room, a wine cellar, two grand master suites — one on the first floor and one on the second — plus a disappearing-edge swimming pool, spa, an outdoor kitchen and an expansive covered patio.The Italian-style residence also features custom iron railings, arched doorways, coffered ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, stone fireplaces, marble flooring and a marble staircase. The gourmet kitchen comes with Thermador
