Get a life you losers. Instead of looking for all the ways to take someone else's money, how about getting off your butt and find some ways to make your own? If all you can do is complain about "fairness" you're a grade "A" loser.
Each one of these houses employed a builder, sub contractorss, maintenance crews, etc. Each one paid for the family car and vacations of a roofer, heating and air guy, window replacement guy, paving man, etc. etc. etc. etc. Each one has a hefty property tax bill attached to it to pay for the schools your worthless little rugrats go to so you can teach them that anybody who earned one penny more than them is greedy, but the person looking to take it away is "fair". Losers.
i thiink "han cho" and "someone" on here leaving comments should get together and just get jobs, instead of being hookers !
athletes work hard...but i still think their 30 million $ contracts are outrageous ! beacuase of these salaries I cant take my kids to any games....$250 minimum for a ticket in the nose bleed section x 4, plus parking , food and bev...thats a mortgage payment...!
I am grossed out that some of the twits that made comments in here are the one with the low
IQ's. Most athletes work really hard. They earn their money Being envious is your motive.
Get a life!!!!!
But hay, at least we're entertained, yah?
Coolest athlete homes
By Daniel Bukszpan of CNBC
The value of the average home in the U.S. in April was $147,300, according to real-estate website Zillow.com. The home of the professional athlete, however, is likely to be anything but average.
The professional athlete is often a distinct type of homebuyer, in part because the contract and endorsement money makes possible the purchase of colossal, multimillion-dollar homes. But these athletes can have serious problems selling real estate.
A multimillion-dollar mansion can have a hard time attracting a buyer, even under ideal circumstances, but the same mansion with a regulation-size basketball court attached to it can be next to impossible to sell, as basketball legend Julius Erving learned the hard way in 2010. To quote from the work of the great American poet Christopher Wallace, or Notorious B.I.G., "The more money we come across, the more problems we see."
What follows is a gallery of athletes' homes that are on the market. All of them are studies in fully loaded, tricked-out luxury, as only a few people could afford. The owners were identified by real-estate site Trulia.com.
NOTE: Properties were on the market and listed as available at the time of publication in June 2012 unless otherwise noted.

Derek Jeter
- Location: New York
- Price: $17.95 million
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 5 full, 1 half
- Square footage: 5,425
Derek Jeter has been playing for the New York Yankees since 1995, an eternity by professional baseball player standards. So it makes sense that in all that time he would drop anchor in his team's city and buy a piece of prime New York real estate. The property in question is a penthouse suite in Trump World Tower, which Jeter has put on the market for nearly $18 million.
The panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline from the 88th-floor apartment is a major selling point, to say nothing of the equally impressive views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge and the Verrazano Bridge, along with the East River and the Hudson River. The apartment also features 16-foot-tall floor-to-ceiling windows, a wood-burning fireplace and wallpaper made of the finest ultrasuede.
