According to the NBC Sports Network, Bonds originally purchased the European-style mansion in 2002, which was designed like a Tuscan villa . However, he put the property on the market in 2013. Although he bought the property for $8.7 million, he listed it for $25 million because of renovations he made.
Back in 2020, Hollywood celebrity couple Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara bought the property for a whopping $26 million.
Barry Bonds’ royal investment gets value from celebrity pair
Bond decided to list his property at a higher price because he added a huge 5,500 sq ft. As such, the property was upgraded to 17,100 square feet in a gated community.
When the site was sold in 2013, he originally wanted $25 million. But got $22 million that year in December.
The property has had multiple owners since then. But in 2020, Hollywood couple Manganiello and Vergara paid $26 million for Bonds’ old estate. Thus, the Italianate estate fulfilled a great deal of its former needs. The celebrity couple, worth $220 million, combined their financial resources to pay the pricey sum.
The luxury 1.85-acre property has undergone extensive renovations since Bonds owned it. The villa consists of six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. There are two racing tracks and a garage for four cars.
