Maria Sharapova may have just pulled off one of her biggest wins outside of tennis. The former world No. 1 is set to make a staggering $21 million profit from the sale of her luxury Manhattan Beach home in California.
Sharapova purchased the property back in 2012 for $4.1 million. After more than a decade of ownership—and years of carefully tailoring the space to her taste—the residence has now hit the market for $25 million. That’s nearly four times the original purchase price.
The tennis star collaborated with architect Grant Kirkpatrick and interior designer Courtney Applebaum for three years to create a minimalist, Japanese-inspired retreat. The result? A tranquil beachside sanctuary with clean lines, serene interiors, and unique features including a private pool and even a two-lane bowling alley.
Fans first got a glimpse of the house in an Architectural Digest feature, where Sharapova’s love for simplicity and design shone through. Now, those with deep enough pockets may get the chance to call it home.
This sale comes as Sharapova and her husband, Alexander Gilkes, prepare to spend more time in Europe. Whether the massive profit nudges her into the world of property investing remains to be seen—but her track record suggests she has the eye for it.
Beyond Tennis: Sharapova the Entrepreneur
Like many retired athletes, Sharapova has built a thriving business portfolio. She launched Sugarpova in 2012, a candy brand that has since expanded into chocolates and apparel. She’s also invested in wellness company Theragun and even owns a stake in the UFC. Her business savvy once landed her on an episode of Shark Tank, cementing her status as a sharp entrepreneur.
Now, with her California home set to bring in a massive return, Sharapova proves once again that her winning streak extends far beyond the tennis court. Whether it’s candy, wellness, or real estate, she seems to have a knack for turning everything she touches into gold.
