Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro seems to be making headlines both on and off the court this offseason. With the recent listing of his luxurious 8-bedroom, 9-bathroom Pinecrestmansion for $12.2 million, trade rumors surrounding the young star have reached a fever pitch.
The luxurious mansion, spanning 9,505 square feet, showcases its grandeur and elegance to potential buyers. Initially listed for $13 million in late April, shortly after the Miami Heat’s disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first round, the price was later reduced to $12.2 million, possibly reflecting strategic considerations or market dynamics.
This lavish estate boasts an array of amenities, including an outdoor kitchen and a “resort-style” pool, creating an ideal setting for relaxation and entertainment. Additionally, the home features an elevator, wine cellar, state-of-the-art kitchen, media room, summer kitchen, and cabana, embodying luxury and sophistication at every turn. Tyler Herro acquired this modern mansion in December 2022 for $10.5 million, setting a record for the highest sale in Pinecrest at the time of purchase.
Interestingly, Herro’s decision to list his mansion comes on the heels of his four-year, $120 million contract extension with the Miami Heat, signed just two months prior. With an additional $10 million in incentives, Herro’s lucrative deal underscores his value and potential in the NBA, further accentuating the significance of his mansion listing in the context of ongoing trade discussions and personal considerations.
Shakira is On the Move to Miami
Shakira has recently relocated to Miami with her children after leaving Barcelona, the hometown of her ex-boyfriend, Gerard Piqué.
The Colombian singer, who lived in Barcelona for eight years, explained in a farewell Instagram post that she was leaving following her breakup with Pique, 36, so she could begin “a new chapter.”
Shakira and Piqué first became acquainted while working on the music video for her song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” which served as the FIFA World Cup 2010’s anthem. In March 2011, the pair announced their relationship for the first time. Last June, they made their breakup public.
Piqué, who was born in Barcelona, had a fruitful career with FC Barcelona, the illustrious team representing the city. Before the defender announced his retirement from the game in November 2022, his teams won eight La Liga championships and three Champions League trophies.
With the recent news of her departure, Shakira has been seen looking at homes across Miami and plans to spend up to $50 million for a mega-mansion.
Pictures of the glam pop diva and her brother visiting more than six potential properties in Florida’s wealthy neighborhoods were captured.
The 46-year-old is apparently renting a $15 million waterfront mansion while searching for a larger place to settle down with her kids Milan and Sasha, ages ten and eight.
Miami Marlins, Avisail Garcia Purchases a $9 Million Mansion in Miami
Avisail Garcia, an outfielder with the Miami Marlins, just paid $9.06 million for a mansion in a prestigious Snapper Creek Lakes neighborhood in Coral Gables, Florida.
The 1.1-acre property was purchased by the baseball player from Venezuela, known as Uncle Avi, 31, and his wife, Anakarina Garcia, at the end of March. The deal was made two years after Mr. Garcia committed to the Miami Marlins for a four-year, $53 million contract.
The two-story house is sited on a corner lot and was originally listed in July 2022 for $10.495 million. Public records show that it was last sold in 2021 for $7.35 million.
The home’s total square footage, including terraces, outdoor spaces, and basement levels, is 11,476. Additionally, the listing describes it as “a strong bunker” with a poured-concrete roof and hurricane-resistant windows.
The 3-car garage is located at the home’s entry, which is surrounded by a large iron security gate. French doors across the rear of the house lead into a columned terrace with a pool and spa, which is also visible from the row of balconies on the second story. The house is built for indoor-outdoor living. The grill and a fire sprinkler system are additional outside elements.
The residence’s top rooms, including the private principal suite in a separate wing, are accessed through a grand staircase. The mezzanine gives the architectural drama and depth.
The home contains a formal dining room, a cinema room, a breakfast area, and a chef’s kitchen with a big island in addition to seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
Mr. Garcia played for the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, and Milwaukee Brewers before making his main league debut in 2012. The Garcias, who are parents of two small kids, were married in 2013.
Former NY Yankees Player A-Rod Just Purchased a Star Island Home for $18.5 Million
For $18.5 million, a company run by former New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez just purchased a mega-mansion on Miami’s infamous Star Island in Miami Beach.
Casa La Bonita, located at 14 Star Island Drive features 0.9 acres with over 100 feet of water frontage directly on Biscayne Bay. The estate was built by renowned Mexican developer, Carlos Gosselin.

Throughout the home, it is evident the custom-made Hindu doors, a movie theater, a poolside gazebo, an elevator, high-impact windows, a pool, and a boat dock.
Rodriguez is the manager of Star Island 14 LLC, which is the name of the purchaser of the home. The former MLB All-Star Rodriguez’s addresses in Miami and Woodland Hills, California, were included in the $20 million mortgage from First Republic Bank.
The off-market transaction cost $463 per square foot. In 2020, the house last sold for $24 million.
Rodriguez has purchased on Star Island before. In 2020, Rodriguez and singer/actor Jennifer Lopez bought the home next door, 13 Star Island Drive. Rodriguez and Lopez are no longer together and it is unclear if 13 Star Island will be sold or if either will take sole possession.
