Marc Anthony, the two-time Latin Grammy Award Winner, as mentioned on his official website, sells his LA Mansion to NBA star JaVale McGee, reports TMZ. For the "King of Salsa," Anthony, who has a net worth of $40M, as stated in Celebrity Net Worth, this $2.25M home in Los Angeles is just a small slice of his fortune.
The Latin singer's former home in Encino, California covers almost 6,300 sq. ft. of living space and prides itself with its roots as it showcases a Spanish design theme, notes TMZ. The luxury home of the singer-songwriter and record producer, offers six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, says the report.
The article also mentioned that the celebrity home lives up to its past owner's regal stature by its wonderful architectural features like the soaring ceilings which creates an airy feel, especially for the tall new owner. There is a very modern home theater in the estate too, leveling up how one should watch a favorite film, says the site.
Outside, the Encino property is reportedly a good summer place to stay as it boasts a great bar set up with a large pool to further complement the season's warmth. The NBA star may even relax on the cabana while drinking some fruit shake, a real tropical treat.

According to TMZ, Anthony purchased this mansion two years ago, right after he and the famous actress and singer, Jennifer Lopez separated. In February, he and his new wife, model Shannon de Lima, purchased a San Fernando Valley home worth $4,125,000. Early this month, he relisted his Long Island estate he shared with JLo when they married with a $2.5M price cut, as reported here on RealtyToday.
The Latin singer is hailed as "one of the most influential performing artists of his time," as stated on his official site. Although he was born and raised in New York, he was captivated with Latin music as he was inspired by none other than his own family.
Carrying the name of a great Mexican balladeer, he proved to be worth it as he expressed himself well with his music, reaching to several Latinos. The site claims that he has already sold more than 12 million album units nationally and abroad.
Aside from having bestselling records, he gained several prestigious awards such as the "Lifetime Achievement Award" given by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in Washington D.C. (2009) and the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame (2012), informs the site.
Meanwhile, the 27-yeal-old new owner, McGee, has been out of the Philadelphia 76ers, as noted by Haute Living, making him unemployed. However, he has amassed more than $30M being a basketball star, so he would do fine, notes TMZ.
