Maria Sharapova has long been more than just a tennis legend — but recent moves show she’s building something extraordinary off the court, and the details are both thrilling and deeply human.
At 38, Sharapova has just listed her custom-built coastal mansion in Manhattan Beach, California, for $24.995 million. The home is breathtaking — ocean views, double-height entry gallery, concrete walls, two bowling lanes, a media room, and a living room bench that stretches out over the pool. It’s the kind of luxury many dream about, but few ever live. And behind this sale is something more than just a property: it’s a shift in priorities. She and her fiancé, Alexander Gilkes, are selling because they plan to spend more time with family in Europe.
But real estate is only one piece of Sharapova’s evolving puzzle. Just recently, she launched a new venture in home-office furniture design. After retiring in 2020, Maria didn’t slow down — she branched out. She wants to transform boring boardroom furniture into something stylish, functional, and inspiring. She’s drawing from her own post-tennis life, seeing spaces she didn’t love, and deciding to do something about it.
Her business instincts aren’t just experimental; they’re backing up with serious numbers. Sharapova’s ventures have helped build her net worth to around £130 million. Coupled with her real estate moves, it shows she’s no longer just living off past glory — she’s creating something lasting.
Meanwhile, motherhood remains one of her most cherished roles. Sharapova gave birth to her son, Theodore (often called “Theo” or “T”) in July 2022, and since then, navigating life as a parent alongside business and personal growth has become central to her story. She’s made clear she wants to spend more quality time with family. The move from her Los Angeles mansion is part of that.
And there’s one more honor adding sparkle to this reinvention: Maria Sharapova has been elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame Class of 2025. It’s the recognition of every win, every injury, every comeback, every moment of grit—and now, this recognition becomes part of her “after tennis” identity.
All of this together paints a portrait of someone stepping out of the spotlight of competition, but stepping into something even more powerful: crafting a legacy. Sharapova’s journey now is about design, motherhood, family, impact—and the world is watching.
