Inside Novak Djokovic’s Worldly Real Estate Portfolio

The top player deserves nothing but the finest. In June 2023, Novak Djokovic officially surpassed Steffi Graf to become the tennis player with the most weeks at number one in the world, with a total of 378 weeks. Hailing from Serbia, Djokovic began his professional career in 2003 and swiftly climbed the ranks in the international tennis scene, establishing himself as one of the most dominant players in the game alongside Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. He has now reached an even higher level of fame, winning his 10th Australian Open title and setting a new record with his 23rd major title at the French Open earlier this year. Considering his remarkable achievements on the global stage, it should come as no surprise that Djokovic has invested a significant portion of his wealth in luxurious properties all around the world. These stunning residences include homes in Monte Carlo, Miami, New York City, Marbella, and even his hometown of Belgrade. Take a glimpse inside these breathtaking homes that Djokovic has called his own throughout the years.

Taking inspiration from many professional athletes such as Stefanos Tsitsipas and Caroline Wozniacki, Djokovic acquired a home in Monte Carlo after turning professional in 2003. It is unclear exactly how much he spent on this residence. Reportedly, when he was 17 years old, Djokovic began spending significant time in this beautiful location due to his tournaments and his coach's home being there. The details about the property are limited, but we do know that it is situated on a hill with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Djokovic regarded this place as his primary residence for approximately 15 years before moving to Spain in 2020.

During his time in Monte Carlo, the professional sportsman regularly visited the Monte-Carlo Country Club. In an interview with Yahoo! News in 2023, he mentioned, "I am very familiar with this club. Many renowned athletes live in Monaco and choose this club as their training ground. The club undergoes a remarkable transformation during the tournament weeks, but there is something special about sleeping in your own familiar bed." It's worth mentioning that he continues to possess this property.

In a display of his financial power, Djokovic demonstrated his dominance in the real estate realm over ten years later by acquiring two separate units in a building designed by Renzo Piano in the SoHo neighborhood of NYC. The total cost for both condos exceeded $10 million. Despite the proximity, the two-bedroom residences were located in different sections of the building, effectively quashing any speculation about the athlete's intentions to combine them into one living space. Although the units were still being constructed at the time of purchase, subsequent reports have highlighted luxurious features such as high ceilings measuring 10 feet, expansive windows that reach from floor to ceiling, underfloor heating, and a private entrance accessible by elevator. Some inhabitants of the building have even claimed that certain units include their own swimming pools and terraces. It is highly likely that Djokovic continues to own these two residences.

In that same year, the professional tennis player spent $5.77 million on a penthouse in another building designed by Renzo Piano, but this time in Miami. Djokovic expressed his enthusiasm for the design and location of both buildings, stating that New York and Miami are destinations he visits regularly and having a place to return to is exciting. The stunning condo had a glass-front and spanned 2,421 square feet, featuring three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, offering unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean. The building also provided excellent amenities such as a plunge and infinity pool, a library, and a modern gym and spa. However, Djokovic never actually stayed in the home as it was finished constructing in December 2019, and he promptly put it up for sale just one month later with a price tag of $7.15 million. Eventually, the property sold the following year shortly after Djokovic secured his 19th Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, fetching slightly below the asking price at $6 million.

Djokovic's latest real estate purchase brought him back to his hometown in Belgrade, Serbia. He acquired a luxurious penthouse apartment with a stunning view of Lake Pavlova for a sum of $675,000. The apartment includes three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a spacious living room, and a terrace with a swimming pool. To make the apartment more modern, Djokovic invested considerable time and money into its renovation. In addition to upgrading his own property, Djokovic has also used his success to benefit Serbia's tourism industry. In 2009, he and his family built the Novak Tennis Center, a facility with 14 courts, 11 of which are made of clay. This center serves as a popular tourist attraction and a local gathering place. Other notable places influenced by Djokovic's accomplishments include the Novak 1 Cafe & Restaurant, established by his parents, and Square Nine, the city's sole luxury five-star hotel. While his apartment was being renovated, Djokovic reportedly stayed at Square Nine with his family.

Djokovic's most recent investment is his brand new main residence: a Moroccan-style mansion worth $10 million in Marbella, Spain. The tennis champion's house consists of nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and he has provided some glimpses of his home on Instagram (especially since he and his family spent most of the pandemic there). Sneak peeks inside the house showcase marble floors, elegant crystal chandeliers, and beautiful arched doorways. In addition, there is a huge cinema room, a traditional Turkish bath, a spacious indoor gym, and, of course, a large tennis court where Djokovic practices tennis with his two young children.
