NBA star Dwayne Wade’s former suburban Chicago home is facing foreclosure. According to TMZ, the Miami Heat guard is worth approximately $100 million, and brings in roughly $30 million a year. So you are probably wondering, why the foreclosure? Wade lived in the 7,800 square foot home with his wife and children until 2007, when the couple divorced. Just last year Wade settled with his ex-wife for $5 million and relinquished ownership of the home.
His wife receives $25,000 a month in spousal support. After being awarded the house last year, Wade’s ex-wife stopped making payments on the mortgage and this month the bank filed a foreclosure notice for the $225,000 balance. Since Wade’s signature was on the original mortgage papers, the bank is asking him to pay up, but the NBA star’s attorney has stated that his client has no further payment obligations on the home.
The six bedroom, seven bathroom home is currently listed at $1.2 million. The South Holland home sits on a 3.2 acre lot, has a sports theater room, exercise room, a sauna, a pool and includes a two bedroom guest house. The listing also mentions that “some custom furniture may be for sale by the owner.”
