BlogIts been such a fun ride, but the Paris Olympics are coming to a close. These games have featured so many incredible athletes at the very best. We’ve featured some of them here these past two weeks, but there are so many fascinating people we can’t wait to see more of. Keep an eye on these other talents, and of course their awesome houses, here on VirtualGlobetrotting!
Giannis Antetokounmpo
The “Greek Freak” was a flagbearer for his native Greece in Paris, though his team failed to medal. The two-time NBA MVP is an international superstar with a net worth of $70 million. As a long time member of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, his home is a 10,000-square-foot house in River Hills, Wisconsin. This huge house with a gym, pool, and wine cellar, has been passed around by members of the Bucks organization for many years.
Joel Embiid
Another basketball big man, Cameroon-born Joel Embiid represented the United States in Paris. Embiid, also a former NBA MVP, lives a more urban life in the home of his team, The Philadelphia 76ers. His net worth of $85 million affords him a Center City penthouse with a 1,000-square-foot private outdoor space and a pool and hot tub overlooking the city of Brotherly Love. Embiid listed this property in January 2024 for $5.5 million.
Coco Gauff
Tennis sensation Coco Gauff was eliminated from the tennis draws earlier than should would have liked, but the 20-year old US Open winner gets to return beautiful home in Boynton Beach, Florida. Gauff’s net worth is $3.5 million but she has plenty of time to earn more money and maybe some Olympic hardware!
Katie Ledecky
American swimmer Katie Ledecky is one of the most decorated Olympians of all time. She came into Paris with ten Olympic medals and left with four more. One of the most dominant Olympians since 2012, Ledecky landed a $7-million endorsement deal with swimwear brand TYR. Ledecky, who hails originally from Bethesda, Maryland, moved her base of operations from Stanford in California, to the University of Florida in 2021. Her house in Gainesville rests in a nice wooded area. Katie Ledecky’s net worth is $5 million.
Naomi Osaka
Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka was once the number-one ranked player in the world before stepping away from the sport to have her first child. She came back this year for her second Olympics but was unable to advance through the first round. Osaka has won four major championships and in 2021 was the highest-paid female athlete in the world. Osaka’s net worth is $45 million. She purchased her 6,855-square-foot home in Tarzana, California from popstar Nick Lachey in 2022.
Sha’Carri Richardson
American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson is one of the fastest women in the world, winning a silver medal at the 100m in Paris. Her success on the track has led to endorsement deals from Nike, Powerade, and Sprite. She moved from her hometown of Dallas, Texas to this 2,461-square-foot house in Clermont, Florida in 2022. With a net worth of $1.5 million, she was able to drop $580,000 on this suburban home with a pool.
