British rocker Robbie Williams got his start at just 16 years old as a member of the British boy band Take That and rocketed to superstardom. As a solo artist, he is responsible for seven UK number one singles, fourteen number one albums, and the Guinness Book of World Records entry for the most tickets sold in one day: 1.6 million during his Close Encounters Tour. He was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004, after being voted the Greatest Artist of the 1990s. A resident of Los Angeles since 2006, he has an estimated net worth of over $120 million.

Planning to move to Florida with his wife and four kids, the rocker just sold his LA home to Drake for $75 million and purchased an epic mansion in Coral Gables for $40 million, plus another $5 million for furnishings. The residence is located in the Old Cutler Bay neighborhood on a rare one-acre peninsula lot with 435 feet of waterfrontage, a 75-foot dock, and views on three sides. The sellers were the glamorous Dr. Nicole Martin, formerly of The Real Housewives of Miami, and her fiancé, powerhouse attorney Anthony Lopez. The sale is on track to set a new record for the exclusive neighborhood.

Spanning 19,380 square feet, the mansion includes seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and two powder rooms. The spacious kitchen features a massive marble island, plus counter seating at a separate marble bar.  An airy open floor plan with bright white walls and plenty of glass offers an exquisite indoor-outdoor lifestyle with a clean contemporary look. At the tip of the peninsula, a unique round pool offers luxurious relaxation, just steps from the shore. A massive gym and an 18-car garage share a floor, so Williams can work out while admiring his fabulous car collection. Additional amenities include a fire-pit, an outdoor kitchen, and a wine cellar. 

The rocker has tapped Manny Angelo Varas, the Miami-based developer known as “The Billionaire’s Builder,” for an ambitious $5 million expansion. They plan to add a recording studio, an entertainment pavilion, and the first floating padel court in the United States. 

Old Cutler Bay is a picturesque gated community in Coral Gables, Florida, featuring stunning estate homes, tree-lined streets, and gorgeous views of Biscayne Bay. Only 30 minutes from Miami International, the neighborhood offers easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment in downtown Coral Gables and South Miami, plus the splendid 444-acre preserve of the Deering Estate, the beautiful 83-acre Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, Matheson Hammock Park and Beach, and Pinecrest Gardens. Other celebrities with homes in the area include basketball star Alonzo Mourning, Gloria Estefan,  Andy Garcia, and Jennifer Lopez.

The listing was held by Dennis Carvajal with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, while Williams was represented by Chad Carroll at The Chad Carroll Group of Compass.
