NFL quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife singer Ciara are making a massive profit off the sale of their Washington estate. The couple sold their 11,100-square-foot home for $21.25 million and an adjacent lot for almost $10 million, totaling $31 million for the entire estate. Wilson purchased the house in 2015 for $6.7 million and the lot next door for the same amount in 2019, meaning he will make $17.6 million from the latest sale.
According to a source familiar with the deal, the home is under contract and scheduled to close in May. Wilson, who played for the Seattle Seahawks for 10 seasons, was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2022 and then signed to a one-year deal with the Pittsburg Steelers in March. He will receive $1.21 million from the new team while the Broncos will pay the remainder of his $39 million salary. Amid all the changes in his career, Wilson and Ciara have been trying to sell their properties in Washington and Denver.
Earlier in February, the couple put their $25 million mansion in Cherry Hills Village, Denver, up for sale. Wilson sold the property for $21.5 million, taking a loss as he had paid $3.5 million more for it in 2022. However, he made a profit selling their Washington estate after making renovations to the home, including adding a gym, home theater, yoga, and dance studio. Wilson also put a sports court on the lot, which sits on about 1.06 acres on Lake Washington.
It is unclear whether Wilson and Ciara plan to buy a home in Pittsburgh where his new team is based. The couple has three children together, with their youngest, Amora Princess Wilson, being born in December. The couple got married in 2016 and has been focusing on selling their properties amid Wilson’s career changes. While the couple took a loss on their Denver property, they have managed to make a significant profit from the sale of their Washington estate. The couple is now looking ahead to their next move as Wilson continues his NFL career with the Pittsburg Steelers.
