Carmelo Anthony, widely recognized as one of the best basketball players in the history of the game, is the happy owner of a mansion in New York that is valued at $12.9M.
Anthony, who has been a member of the NBA since 2003 and is currently playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, has had a spectacular career that has spanned 17 peak seasons since he first joined the league. Because of his extraordinary abilities and achievements, he has skyrocketed to superstar status, which has garnered him first-rate popularity and enormous wealth.
Anthony was able to collect a staggering salary of $26M per year while playing for the OKC Thunder team while he was at the height of his career. His years of supremacy on the court have led to the accumulation of a fortune that is estimated to be more than $100M. People magazine has pointed out that Anthony’s $12.9M mansion in the middle of New York City is one of his most notable possessions. The home is located in the Upper East Side.
Even though Anthony just recently started marketing his opulent mansion for sale, he has not been able to locate a buyer. 2015 was the year he paid $11M to acquire the property. Anthony had established himself as the most important player for the New York Knicks, one of the most successful basketball teams in the NBA at the time.
Anthony has earned rich endorsement deals in addition to his hefty pay, which has further increased his profits as the face of a well-known commercial chain.
