Lakers’ Luka Doncic Buys $25M Manhattan Beach Home

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić recently purchased a $25 million home in Manhattan Beach, California, previously owned by retired tennis champion Maria Sharapova. The custom-built, three-story house features five bedrooms, a pool, and a two-lane bowling alley, and sits on a quarter-acre lot in the desirable Hill Section neighborhood known for ocean views. Dončić, who signed a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Lakers in August, acquired the property through his business manager. This purchase marks the most expensive home sale in Manhattan Beach, surpassing the previous record set last year. The location’s popularity among professional athletes and celebrities, along with its proximity to the ocean, aligns with Dončić’s expressed love for living near the beach. The home highlights the trend of high-value real estate transactions in the area, where newer builds with ocean views command premium prices.
