Why Tom Brady is selling his ‘Billionaire Bunker’ mansion: 'He can't take it anymore'

Article content

When Tom Brady reportedly put his ‘Billionaire Bunker’ mansion up for sale earlier this year, it was touted as potentially the largest home sale in Miami’s history.

But the reason why Brady wants out of his Indian Creek Island home — which reportedly has received offers around US$150 million — isn’t because he’s in need of some cash.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion reportedly “can’t stomach” living near ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and her new baby, according to reports.

Brady and Bundchen split in 2022 after 13 years, and they share two children together, 15-year-old son Benjamin and 12-year-old daughter Vivian.

But after the split, Bundchen moved directly across the canal into a US$11.5 million pad and began a relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, with whom she now shares a newborn child.

“Every time he looks out across the water, he sees Gisele’s refurbished home and perfect life with her martial arts hunk and their new baby, and it gets him down,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

After Brady and Bundchen split in 2022, the QB-turned-TV-analyst took on the building’s construction, but the Brazilian supermodel had been closely involved in the planning for what was supposed to be their family home.

“He can’t take it anymore,” the source continued. “He wants to sell the house. It reminds him of Gisele. She was the one who dominated the remodeling, and it’s her style, her personal touches. He still feels her nuance everywhere.”

Brady reportedly wants to remain in Miami, but relocate to ”somewhere where he can have some peace.”

The NFL legend’s newly completed mansion is located on Indian Creek Island, a man-made barrier island in the Miami metro area that has just 41 residential home sites.

The island, which also boasts a golf course and country club, has seen property values soar since Amazon boss Jeff Bezos forked out $90 million for his third home there last year.

Brady and Bundchen purchased the lot for $17 million in 2020, but now the current lead NFL analyst on Fox has shown the mansion to a small group of potential buyers, according to Bloomberg.

The property has not been officially listed on the market, but if Brady does offload the luxury two-acre home, it could set a record as the largest home sale in Miami’s history.

The current mark was set in 2022 when billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin purchased a home in the Coconut Grove neighborhood for $107 million.

As seen in aerial photos from above Indian Creek last year, Brady’s so-called ‘Billionaire Bunker’ boasts a large garden with a variety of vegetables and flowers appearing to be grown across eight congruent plots.

According to reports, Brady recently added a boat dock and pickleball court to the property, which also includes its own basketball court, an outdoor infinity pool and a tree-lined driveway leading to a multi-car garage.

The house faces the water, with the island’s golf course behind it. According to reports, the property is protected by a private 13-person police force.

After his retirement from the NFL following the 2023 season, he signed a massive 10-year, $375-million deal with Fox to become the network’s lead in-game analyst.

Last year, he also became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, complicating his duties as a broadcaster.
