Lionel Messi’s real estate holdings are as impressive as his record-breaking career, forming a key part of his growing $850 million fortune. While his legendary run on the pitch has earned him over $1.6 billion, the 38-year-old soccer star’s savvy investments in luxury real estate and hospitality are fueling the next chapter of his wealth.

Attorney Anthony Lopez and his fiancée, Dr. Nicole Martin, an anesthesiologist and former Real Housewives of Miami cast member, have offloaded their fully reimagined waterfront estate in Coral Gables in a $40 million off-market deal. They were represented in the transaction by Dennis Carvajal of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
The buyer, represented by Chad Carroll of Compass, is none other than British music superstar Robbie Williams, who reportedly plans to relocate his family of six to Florida following the sale of his Beverly Hills mansion to Drake for $75 million.
Lopez and Martin purchased the one-acre peninsula property in the prestigious Old Cutler Bay enclave in 2022 for $21.5 million and then spent two years gut-renovating the residence, which was prominently featured on the popular Bravo franchise. Their transformation, along with Florida’s electrified ultra-high-end real estate market, more than doubled the value of the home and set a new benchmark for the exclusive waterfront neighborhood, landing at roughly $5,000 per square foot.

The 19,380-square-foot smart home currently has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Interior spaces are designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, with a chef’s kitchen equipped with three Sub-Zero fridge/freezers, a movie room, a gym and a massage suite, a bar, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. A resort-style pool, fire pit, pizza oven, cabana bath, and summer kitchen sit at the edge of the peninsula, which offers 435 feet of water frontage and a 75-foot dock. A custom-lit 18-car garage rounds out the amenities.
But Williams isn’t just moving in and leaving things be; he’s expanding. According to The New York Post, the English pop star tapped developer Manny Angelo Varas, known as “The Billionaire’s Builder,” to oversee a multi-million-dollar addition that includes a 2,000-square-foot guest pavilion with the potential for a recording studio. Among the unique features being explored is a floating padel court, which, if approved, would be the first of its kind at a U.S. residence.

Perched on a private peninsula of about one acre, the estate presides over 435 feet of water frontage.

It’s a “different lifestyle,” Varas said of Williams’s move from California to Miami, noting that safety, taxes, and quality of life are among the reasons high-profile clients are increasingly opting for South Florida. Initially, Williams considered purchasing Rosie O’Donnell’s former home on Star Island, but concerns over flood codes pushed him toward Old Cutler Bay.
The couple has steadily built and strategically offloaded a small portfolio of high-end Miami real estate, and the monumental recent sale isn’t Lopez and Martin’s first headline-grabbing deal. In 2022, they sold a nearby Coral Gables estate to Jeff Bezos’s mother for $44 million, and in 2021, they dropped $7.5 million for a condo on ultra-exclusive Fisher Island. Records show Lopez also owns two smaller homes in Coral Gables, likely held as investments, rentals, or housing for family or staff. Still, letting go of the Old Cutler Bay estate was a tough call. “It was one of those offers that felt irresponsible to say no to,” Lopez told The Real Deal.

Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin is well known for snapping up real estate in jaw-dropping and record-setting deals.

David and Victoria Beckham don’t just rule the worlds of soccer and fashion—they’ve built a global empire that extends far beyond the pitch and the runway. And their choices in residences, spanning sleek city penthouses, countryside estates, and waterfront mansions, each reflect their signature blend of style and star power. Whether basking in the Miami sun, retreating to the English countryside, or laying low atop Dubai’s tallest tower, the Beckhams know how to live iconically.
In addition to their primary professions, they’ve each cultivated powerhouse brands. David’s ventures include co-owning Inter Miami CF, launching grooming and whiskey lines, and founding Studio 99, the production company behind the Emmy-winning 2023 Netflix doc Beckham. Victoria, meanwhile, turned her Spice Girls superstardom into a thriving fashion and beauty label, Victoria Beckham Holdings Limited. Together, their combined net worth is estimated at £500 million (about $671 million), according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
Their homes have tracked their rise. In Spain, during David’s Real Madrid era, they owned a Tuscan-style villa ideal for their growing family. When he joined LA Galaxy in 2007, the Beckhams settled into a 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion with six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a custom media room for Victoria. They sold it quietly for $33 million in 2018, closing a glitzy, tabloid-tracked chapter in Lala Land.
Even at sea, the Beckhams do it big. Their $20 million Riva 130 Bellissima yacht, Seven—named for David’s squad number, which is also daughter Harper’s middle name—is a floating retreat, not only for the two of them but also for their four kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
Now, let’s take a closer look at their impressive collection of homes.

When you’ve spent nearly two decades building the perfect family sanctuary—one that doubles as the private playground for a former NBA team co-owner—it’s not easy to say goodbye.
But that’s exactly what Jim Pallotta and his wife, Kim, are doing. Their nearly 20-acre estate and its sprawling 21,000-square-foot mansion in Weston, Massachusetts, a masterpiece of modern grandeur with a dash of English country charm, just hit the market for a whopping $38 million with Mark Doherty of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman and Maggie Gold Seelig of MGS Group Real Estate.
Jim, a co-owner and executive board member of the Boston Celtics from 2002 to 2020, and Kim have called their Ash Street spread home since 2006. But now that their two sons have flown the coop, the couple admits the custom-built abode is simply “too big” for just the two of them, they told The Wall Street Journal. Their plan? To live a tri-coastal lifestyle, splitting time between their other homes in Nantucket, Miami, and Charleston, South Carolina.

The Pallottas’ compound is a rare gem in this prestigious Boston suburb. Designed by Connecticut’s Shope Reno Wharton to evoke an English country estate, the home blends classic architectural details with a ton of modern amenities. Think soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, and sun-drenched rooms.
At the heart of the main floor is a chef’s dream kitchen featuring two large islands, a pizza oven, and a cozy fireplace. The expansive layout also includes multiple formal and informal entertaining spaces, two offices, a guest suite, and a screened porch with a fireplace and built-in grill.

Upstairs, the palatial primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, sporting dual dressing rooms, a spa-like bathroom, a private sitting area, and an upstairs office. Four additional bedroom suites and a second-floor family room provide plenty of space for guests and kids coming home to visit. Meanwhile, the walk-out lower level is a bona fide entertainment hub, complete with a theater, gym, billiards room, gaming lounge, bar, and wine cellar.
Outside, the resort-style grounds reveal why this estate is truly one of a kind. A sparkling pool with a pool house (full kitchen and bath included), a basketball court, and an oversized four-car garage complete the picture. But perhaps the most delightfully unique feature is the room dedicated to Kim’s extensive collection of antique Santa Claus figurines—an homage to holiday cheer that transforms the house into a winter wonderland each year, The Journal reported.
While the $38 million price tag narrows the field of potential buyers, this estate is poised to set a new record as the most expensive home ever sold in Weston.

Baseball icon David “Big Papi” Ortiz just made a power move off the field—straight into the Miami real estate headlines. The Boston Red Sox legend has snapped up a new home at ORA by Casa Tua, the first-ever branded residence from the team behind the buzzy, members-only Casa Tua club and restaurant. Developed by Fortune International Group in partnership with Casa Tua’s founder Miky Grendene, the towering glass stunner is set to rise 77 stories above Brickell Avenue.
Ortiz—who won three World Series titles with the Sox and remains one of the most beloved sluggers in MLB history—was all smiles as he posed at the sales gallery with his broker, Sheila Rosario Davey of Fortune International Realty. Davey marked the moment on Instagram, sharing a shot of the Hall of Famer alongside fellow agent Jennifer Bautista.

Though details of Ortiz’s exact unit and purchase price remain under wraps, three-bedroom residences at ORA—ranging from approximately 2,300 square feet with expansive terraces—are currently priced between $3.35 million and $3.75 million, offering a sense of what buyers at his level might expect.
Known for his outsized charisma, Ortiz was reportedly drawn to ORA’s blend of luxury, lifestyle, and culinary flair. True to Casa Tua’s brand, the building leans heavily into food and community, with four on-site restaurants—Terra, Uva, Fuoco, and Vento—designed to bring guests and residents together around the table.

Scheduled for completion in 2029, the Arquitectonica-designed tower will comprise 533 fully furnished residences and allow for short-term rentals. Naturally, the amenity lineup reads like a five-star resort: a 12th-floor pool deck, hammam-equipped wellness center, co-working spaces, and a rooftop bar and lounge with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. There’s even a three-story sky garden and interiors by Milan-based m2atelier.
Meanwhile, one of Ortiz’s former homes is back in the spotlight. The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom Pinecrest estate he custom-built in 2019 has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. Listed with Dennis Carvajal of One Sotheby’s International Realty, the striking modern compound features everything from an Officine Gullo kitchen to a sports lounge with nine flat-screen TVs—and it still holds the title for the upscale neighborhood’s record high sale price. Big Papi knows how to pick ’em.

Major League Baseball great David Ortiz—better known as “Big Papi”—is back in Miami real estate headlines. The former first baseman’s former North Pinecrest estate, a modern showpiece packed with luxury perks, has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. The current listing is held by Dennis Carvajal with One Sotheby’s International Realty.
Ortiz, who retired from MLB in 2016 after a decorated career with the Boston Red Sox that included 10 All-Star appearances and three World Series titles, originally purchased the land in 2016 for $1.5 million and completed construction on the home in 2019. In early 2023, he listed the custom-built estate for $12.5 million, and by June of that year, it had sold for nearly $10.6 million—a record-breaking deal for Pinecrest, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. The sale narrowly beat out the previous high of $10.5 million, set in 2022 when Miami Heat star Tyler Herro picked up a snazzy home in the same neighborhood.

Tucked behind gates on more than an acre of landscaped grounds, the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence spans just over 10,000 square feet and is designed with both visual drama and plush comfort in mind. Fire and water features welcome you at the entrance, setting the tone for a home that blends high-impact design with laid-back vibes.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the interiors with great volumes of light and make for seamless connections to the tropically planted backyard. At the heart of the home is an Italian Officine Gullo kitchen with a walk-in pantry—equal parts gourmet and gallery-worthy. Upstairs, four bi-level bedrooms each have individual sitting areas. The primary suite offers a boutique-style closet, spa-like bath with a floating tub, and, at 16 feet long, a shower plenty big enough to easily accommodate a professional athlete.

Ortiz made sure the home didn’t skimp on fun, either. There’s a high-tech home theater with recliners and a wet bar, plus a custom-built sports lounge complete with a wall of nine flat-screen TVs—perfect for catching every angle of the game.
Out back, the resort-style amenities continue with a pool, spa, summer kitchen, multiple covered terraces, a gazebo, and three fire pits. Located near top-rated schools and some of the city’s most prestigious addresses, the estate is a home run for anyone looking to live large in Miami.

Timothy Headington—the Dallas-based billionaire oilman, luxury hotelier, and Oscar-winning film producer—has officially parted ways with his longtime Miami Beach penthouse, closing a $4 million deal earlier this week. Listing agent Eloy Carmenate of The Corcoran Group, along with colleague Mick Duchon, represented Headington in the sale. Zachary Aker of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer, whose identity has not been disclosed.
Tucked atop the boutique Capri South Beach building, Penthouse 1 offers cinematic views worthy of its former owner: 360 degrees of Biscayne Bay, the glittering Miami skyline, and golden Florida sunsets. Headington, who has credits on The Young Victoria, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and In the Land of Blood and Honey, originally snapped up the 1,974-square-foot residence in 2009 for just under $2.4 million, property records show.

Since then, he’s quietly elevated the space with the help of Miami designer Sofia Joelsson, whose vision for the home channels coastal minimalism with a refined edge. Think vein-cut travertine floors, a sleek Ornare kitchen outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a bright, open-concept plan that invites the outdoors in.
Of course, the true showstopper lies upstairs: a 3,185-square-foot private rooftop terrace, complete with a summer kitchen, Jacuzzi, and expansive lounge areas made for sun-drenched afternoons or soirées under the stars. The sale also included a private slip—big enough for a 60-foot boat—making this a dream setup for anyone who prefers arriving home by water.

Headington had originally listed the penthouse in December 2023 for $6.5 million but ultimately accepted the $4 million offer, reportedly because he’s spending less time in Miami these days. The property’s appeal is timeless, though: a quiet waterfront address just minutes from Lincoln Road, the Design District, and the sand and surf that make South Beach iconic.
Turns out, Headington isn’t the only ultra-wealthy seller eyeing an exit from South Beach. Back in March, fintech mogul Bill Roy, founder and CEO of mortgage tech firm BlockGen, listed his turnkey condo at the Continuum for $25.9 million. Roy, who paid $12.1 million for the combined two-unit residence in 2021, fully renovated the 28th-floor spread, which spans nearly 4,800 square feet and comes furnished by B&B Italia and Minotti. With sweeping ocean-to-skyline views, a chef’s kitchen clad in Viola marble, and a rotunda balcony made for sunset cocktails, Roy’s listing adds another marquee name—and a serious asking price—to Miami Beach’s ultra-luxury market.

Just a month after listing another of his South Florida properties, local businessman David Wallack, the founder of South Beach’s premier salsa nightclub Mango’s Tropical Café, has brought to market a $20.9 million estate in Miami‘s historic Morningside neighborhood just north of the Design District.
Whispering Pines, as the bayside spread is called, comprises a 5,400-square-foot abode featuring custom copper artwork on both the exterior and interior and lush tropical gardens valued at $1 million. Jill Eber of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker Realty holds the four-bedroom, three-bath listing. “Whispering Pines is magical and stands apart with its flexibility and development potential,” Eber said in a statement. “This property holds immense appeal, blending exquisite natural beauty and redevelopment potential into one truly rare offering.”
The walls are clad in glossy wood paneling and the fireplace is framed by coral stone in the living room.

Wallack commissioned the artist Kim Brandell to create the sculpted copper artwork that runs like a frieze across the top of the home and also appears throughout the home’s interior and exterior spaces. Beyond the elaborate, palm-tree-adorned copper gates, you’ll pass a meditation garden, koi pond, and waterfall before arriving at the main residence. Mirroring the materials used outside, the formal living room sports inlaid marble floors, glossy wood paneling, and a wood-burning fireplace framed by coral stone. The kitchen is anchored by a granite island, and the dining room is surrounded by mahogany sliding-glass doors that open to the pool deck. Elsewhere are a casual den and a sound-controlled music studio.
A Brazilian cherry-wood floor with custom stone insets is found in the primary suite, where the bed sits opposite a freestanding copper fireplace. The accompanying bathroom has dual sinks and a sunken spa tub topped by a mosaic skylight. Two additional guest bedrooms are located in the main house, with another in the private guest cottage that dates back to 1925.
A treehouse facing the bay includes a lounge bed.

One of just 13 bayfront parcels in the neighborhood, Whispering Pines presides over 125 premium feet of Biscayne Bay frontage, where there’s a 500-square-foot Ipe boat dock plus an additional docking area with an electric boat davit. Other outdoor areas are perfect for taking advantage of the bay views, too: you can relax in the shade under a 140-year-old Indonesian gazebo or have a nap (or even spend the night) in a treehouse outfitted with a lounge bed. Centered around an oval swimming pool, the coral stone deck includes a custom-built wet bar and a decked-out summer kitchen for entertaining.
Wallack debuted Mango’s Tropical Café in 1991, and the South Beach restaurant/nightclub now has a secondary location in Orlando. The Sunshine State entrepreneur listed his 14-acre Redland spread earlier this year for $19 million.
