ESPN's Darren Rovell reported that Alex Rodriguez just sold his Miami home for $30 million, making a $15 million profit. Why the big windfall? WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT ALEX RODRIGUEZ: He doesn't just have good taste in designer steroids. Rovell writes:
It has nine bedrooms and 11 bathrooms with the oft-coveted European white oak flooring throughout. Its most impressive feature is at the rear of the house, where clear, glass windows can be adjusted so that someone can walk straight outside. The house also features a zen garden and rooftop deck.
Essentially, Rodriguez — whose 2012 OPS was .783, his lowest since he was 19 years old — doubled the value of his property thanks to his tremendous sense of design, both exterior and interior. And not only did he double the value, by means of that oft-coveted European white oak, those clear glass windows, and that zen garden: He made it into one of the most expensive properties ever sold in Miami.
