NBA star Luka Don\u010di\u0107 has dropped eight figures to add an athlete-approved abode to his real estate portfolio. The Slovenian basketball player bought tennis champ Maria Sharapova<\/a>\u2019s customized Manhattan Beach, California, mansion for $25 million. Don\u010di\u0107, who was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers last season, reportedly<\/a> signed a three-year extension for $165 million with the team. He closed on the off-market sale at the end of August through a trust tied to his brand manager, Lara Beth Seager.<\/p>\n Sharapova listed<\/a> her custom-built abode in July, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>. She purchased the estate for $4.1 million in 2012 and fashioned it to her specifications<\/a>. The ocean-view house is roughly 20 miles away from Los Angeles. She tapped architecture firm KAA Design<\/a> and interior designer Courtney Applebaum to transform the house into a minimalist retreat\u2014which took three years to complete, she revealed via AD Open Door<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n Sharapova\u2019s five-bedroom, eight-bathroom manse embodies a \u201cless is more\u201d mentality, inspired by Japanese architecture and minimalist aesthetics (\u201cI didn\u2019t grow up with lots of stuff around. For me, uncluttered means healthy. If you don\u2019t use something, you don\u2019t need it,\u201d she said of her personal interior style.) The entrance opens into a stately double-height foyer with a floating staircase. The five-time Grand Slam winner lined the walls with bare concrete panels and added black metal framing around the windows and glass doors. The 8,000-square-foot property boasts extensive outdoor space, with an infinity swimming pool and a lounge area outfitted with a fireplace. Multiple balconies can be found throughout the property for optimal indoor-outdoor living, and a two-lane bowling alley is situated beside the basement media room.<\/p>\n A stairway in the home.<\/p>\n Photo: Douglas Friedman<\/p>\n Sharapova and her fianc\u00e9, British businessman Alexander Gilkes, are parting ways with their longtime home to spend more time in Europe and at their place in Florida, per the WSJ.<\/p>\n![\"Sharapova,](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/d18b880d127dfd06bc8c8683a13ab86a.jpeg\"\/)
