In 2010, Wade purchased the waterfront residence at $10.6 million during his time with the Miami Heat. After retiring from the NBA in 2019, he was ready to bid farewell to his former home placing it on the market at an asking price of $32.5 million. Failing to attract potential buyers, the price was lowered to $29 million at the end of 2019. In 2020, the price was once more reduced to $26.5 million. The buyer recently managed to reduce the cost even further at an reported closing price of $22 million. The home is currently in pending sale status. Wade and Union now reside in their $18 L.A. million mansion in Hidden Hills after selling their Sherman Oaks abode for $5.5 million in May.

Wade’s former Miami mansion rests beyond private gates and spans 12,000 square feet. The east coast inspired Spanish architecture includes six bathrooms and 11 bathrooms with custom modern amenities. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, tile flooring, light wood cabinetry, and center island. The living area highlights beamed ceilings and arched glass doors with outdoor access. The family room also presents a wall of glass. The master suite features a seating area, office, marble bathroom, salon, and balcony with picturesque waterfront views. The exterior space offers a pool, gazebo, outdoor kitchen, bar, private dock, and Miami Heat themed basketball court. Other perks of the home include a wine room, game room, state-of-the-art professional theater, and four car garage.

Brett Harris with Douglas Elliman represented the listing for this property.

If you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best, but when it comes to living large - these champion ballers set the bar really high. Here's what you need to do to live like an All-Star.

Drive Up to Your Tuscan Villa like Andre Iguodala

The Golden State Warriors Star picked up this Tuscan charmer in 2017. The wide stone driveway leads up to a handsome home that could have been plucked right out of a vineyard countryside (this one happens to be across from a bike path).

There's a veranda leading out to a resort-like pool and spa combo in the back. This mansion in the old world classic style fits the Warriors champion swingman who knows the difference between just getting rich versus creating life long wealth.

Get Married in a Modern Castle Like Dwayne Wade

When Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union tied the knot in 2014, they did it in the biggest way possible - by having the ceremony in a modern Miami castle surrounded by a huge moat!

This one-of-a-kind Florida estate boasts 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and water all the way around. Constructed in 2007 and designed by famed architect Charles Sieger, Chateau Artisan is the place for a hall of fame baller to settle down with his famous bride.

Inside, the twenty-foot high ceiling and gothic chandeliers will make any husband and wife feel like a newly crowned king and queen.

Summer Vacation on Your Super Yacht like Tony Parker

A Turkey-based builder made this ridiculously sleek yacht for former NBA champ Tony Parker. This luxurious boat has six cabins, four decks and a beach club that opens out onto a wide swimming platform.

If Mr. Parker or his wife should require anything other than looking dope on this amazing yacht - it comes with a six-member crew to tend to their every need.

Eat in Your Custom Chef's Kitchen like LeBron James

LeBron is sitting out of the playoffs this year (which he hates) but at least he has more time to enjoy epic meals in his marble-covered kitchen.

Natural French oak parquet court floors and smooth Italian Calcutta marble form the perfect luxury duo for serving up some of LeBron's favorite meals - even if he's just dunking his spoon in a big bowl of cereal.

These NBA Champs have learned how to win big in the playoffs and off the court.
