Parker has utilized his $100 million net worth to make some expensive purchases. The 2007 NBA Finals MVP acquired the 21,000-square-foot, 700-year-old Chteau Saint Laurent in France in 2022. It has 22 rooms, a winery, and even an underground passage that connects to neighboring castles. Parker reportedly spent more than $10 million on the purchase.
The opulent mansion is a kingdom of its own and seems to be straight out of a fairy tale book. Parker surely has a taste for the finer things in life. We often marvel at the prized possessions of NBA billionaires MJ and LeBron, but this dream abode puts the two NBA legends’ possessions to shame.
Parker’s other prized possession
Parker also possessed a 53-acre Hill Country mansion in San Antonio, known as 9 Rue Parker, which he listed for $19.5 million in 2021. The NBA veteran struggled to find a buyer and ultimately decided to take the property off the market despite its impressive amenities, which included a sizable water park with slides, lazy rivers, grottos, and a diving platform.
