Inside Anna Kournikova's $26 Million Mansion as She Makes Rare Outing

Former tennis champion and model Anna Kournikova is back in the headlines after she was pictured in a wheelchair while enjoying an outing with her daughters in Miami.

The 43-year-old Russian athlete, who retired from professional tennis in 2003 and has since been laying low in the expansive Florida mansion she shares with longtime partner Enrique Iglesias and their three children.

However, she made a very rare appearance at Bal Harbour Shops in Miami on Jan. 19, with photos obtained by the New York Post showing Kournikova wearing a black ensemble and a large medical boot while being wheeled around by a friend.

The former tennis pro was accompanied on the shopping trip by daughters Lucy, 7, and Mary, 4, who is the twin sister to Kournikova and Iglesias’ only son, Nicholas.

Bal Harbour Shops is just a 35-minute drive from the custom-built megamansion that Kournikova and Iglesias share with their children. The stunning waterfront property occupies two plots of land and was designed to suit the family’s every need.

Iglesias and Kournikova first purchased the property in 2009, paying $5 million for just one of the plots that their future home would sit on. Today, Realtor.com® estimates that single property is worth close to double that amount.

However, the incredible mansion that now occupies the land has been valued at up to $26 million over the years—with other properties on the same road selling for as much as $85.2 million in recent months.

The mansion, which took several years to complete, boasts seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. It sits on a plum plot that offers staggering views of Biscayne Bay.

The two-story home, which was completed in 2013, offers 17,528 square feet of living space and comes with a lavish pool as well as a tennis court.

It is located in the luxurious neighborhood of Bay Point, which is home to numerous celebrities, including musicians Willy Chirino and DMX, as well as athletes Dwyane Wade, Goran Dragic, and Liván Hernández.

The exclusive gated community affords its residents ample privacy, something that Iglesias and Kournikova have taken full advantage of over the past few years as they have tried to raise their children away from the spotlight.

Images of the home reveal that it boasts a private dock and a boat jetty, as well as an enormous cabana-style building that sits alongside the pristine tennis court.

Kournikova and Iglesias, who began dating in 2001 after meeting on the set of one of the singer’s music videos, spent the first few years of their relationship regularly being photographed in public together—and their romance was regularly featured in headlines across the globe.

However, in recent years, the couple have withdrawn from the spotlight, with Kournikova all but vanishing from the public eye as she focuses on her role as a mother to their children.

The couple were last spotted together in public on May 8, 2022, according to the New York Post.

Kournikova retired from tennis at the age of 21 after suffering a series of back injuries, including a herniated disc.

During her career, she won 16 doubles titles—but failed to ever win a Grand Slam as a single player.

Iglesias previously opened up about their relationship in a candid interview with People magazine, in which he explained how their shared experiences with fame helped to bring them together.

“When we met—although she came from the sports world—in a way, we kind of got each other,” he said.

“She knew what my world was like. I kind of knew what her world was like. So that understanding helped a lot. We just started connecting little by little and got stronger and stronger and stronger.”

While the pair have been hunkered down in their Miami megamansion for more than 10 years now, it is by no means the only property that they have owned together.

In 2018, they put another Miami property on the market for $4.85 million, having built the abode for their relatives, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The couple purchased the property in 2015 for $1.8 million and then embarked on a major renovation, expanding the home and remodeling it for Kournikova’s grandparents.

But the finished product was too large for the intended residents, so the couple decided to flip it.

The listing for the home noted that the six-bedroom, 6.5-bath house was “perfect for a larger family,” calling attention to its 5,331 square feet of living space.
