Real Estate: In 2016, it was announced that Rickie Fowler had listed his home in Florida for a cool $2.85 million. He initially purchased his home in Jupiter in 2010 for a sum of $1.6 million. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in a gated community, the two-story home features four bedrooms and 4,600 square feet of living space.

The residence also sits on half an acre of waterfront property, while includes outdoor amenities like a swimming pool, a large deck, and a dock with two lifts. In total, there are 123 feet of frontage along the beautiful Loxahatchee River. Inside the home, residents can enjoy entire walls made from glass, affording excellent views of the water beyond. There are also concrete floors and a chef’s kitchen.

Also in 2016, Fowler acquired another mansion in Florida, this time paying $14 million for the property. This “upgrade” is significantly larger than his previous home, featuring over 11,500 square feet of living space. Although the six-bedroom home is certainly expansive, there are many more reasons why Rickie must have been excited about this real estate deal. The outside of the property is what makes it really shine, with a practice putting green and a magnolia-lined road leading up to the house. Just like his previous property, this newer acquisition also featured water frontage with a private pier.
