Tom Brady’s Houses: Inside the NFL Legend’s Real Estate Portfolio
After tying the knot, Brady and Bündchen moved to Brentwood, California, renting a home and eventually buying the land next door. They hired architect Richard Landry and interior designer Joan Behnke to build a sprawling, eco-conscious mansion to the tune of $11.75 million. Unique features of the 18,298-square-foot pad included two huge solar panels that supplied energy throughout the property, a moat and bridge at the entrance, and a swimming pool shaped to resemble a natural lake. The couple used reclaimed materials for the interior of the home and leaned into the idea of being “as sustainable as possible,” they told Architectural Digest in 2013. They later sold their sanctuary to Dr. Dre for a whopping $40 million in 2014.
Costa Rican retreat
Details of the Costa Rica home Brady and Bündchen once shared are scant, though the supermodel did open its doors to Vogue in 2010 for a cover shoot. (The images, perhaps unsurprisingly, focus mostly on Bündchen rather than on the house itself.) Brady shared a rare snap from their tropical retreat in 2018 following his Super Bowl loss; the photo showed the couple embracing before a stunning sunset while standing by a reflective infinity pool. “This Sunday’s outcome is a lot better than last Sunday’s!” the caption read. It’s unclear who got the vacation home in the split, though Bündchen has been spotted in Costa Rica since the divorce and even invited CBS news there for a 2023 interview, so it seems like she may have kept the property.
Massachusetts mansion
Brady and Bündchen teamed up with Landry once more in 2014 to build a similarly luxurious home in the Boston suburb of Brookline. The pair paid $4.5 million for the five-acre property and then worked with Landry to custom-build a sprawling 12,112-square-foot mansion, complete with a yoga studio, wine room, play room, gym, and a 2,400-square-foot guest house that Bündchen called her sanctuary during a tour with Vogue. In early 2020 Brady was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they put their Brookline home on the market, ultimately selling it for a reported $32.5 million that Christmas.
NYC condo
Around the same time they purchased property in Boston, the couple also put down $11.7 million for a Peter Marino–designed condo in the Flatiron neighborhood of Manhattan. Located on the 48th floor of the luxury building, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom unit boasted 360-degree views of the city, with floor-to-ceiling windows all throughout the pad. The mansion in the sky had a large living room, an open kitchen, a large den, and a main suite with a floating marble tub. Brady and Bündchen put the pad on the rental market for $40,000 a month before listing it for sale for $17.25 million in 2016. They ended up cutting the asking price down until they finally had it listed for $13.95 million in 2018. It sold shortly after that for an undisclosed price.
Big Sky getaway
In addition to owning homes on both coasts, the two superstars were also reportedly members of the Yellowstone Club in Montana, an exclusive resort community known for skiing, mountain biking, mountain climbing, and golf. To be a member of the club, you must own property within a certain parameter. The exclusivity comes from both the price of the homes themselves—which range from $2.5 million to $25 million—and the fact that membership is capped at 862 households. Membership reportedly starts at $300,000, with annual fees of $37,500. Brady and Bündchen reportedly purchased a home there in 2017, but little is known about how much they spent. Other celebs who own residences there include Bill and Melinda Gates, and Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake. It is still a mystery as to who will retain ownership of the vacation house in their split.
