Exclusivity befitting the elite. In June 2023, Novak Djokovic achieved an unprecedented milestone, surpassing Steffi Graf’s long-held record to become the world’s number one tennis player for an astounding 378 weeks. Originating from Serbia, Djokovic commenced his professional journey in 2003, swiftly ascending through the international tennis echelons to stand alongside legends like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. His dominance in the game reached new heights with a remarkable 10th Australian Open title and a historic 23rd major title at the French Open in early 2023.

Beyond the tennis court, Djokovic’s triumphs reverberate in the realm of luxury real estate, with opulent residences spanning the globe—from Monte Carlo and Miami to New York City and his hometown, Belgrade. These homes provide a glimpse into the lifestyle of a tennis virtuoso who has etched his name in the annals of the sport. Following in the footsteps of fellow athletes like Stefanos Tsitsipas and Caroline Wozniacki, Djokovic acquired a residence in Monte Carlo shortly after turning professional in 2003. Situated atop a hill overlooking the Mediterranean sea, this undisclosed property served as his main residence for approximately 15 years before his relocation to Spain in 2020. Despite the move, Djokovic retains ownership of this Monte Carlo abode and has fond memories of the Monte-Carlo Country Club, a hub for top players, where he felt the gratifying experience of sleeping in his own bed during tournaments. Over a decade later, Djokovic showcased his real estate prowess by securing two separate units in a Renzo Piano-designed building in SoHo, NYC, for a combined sum exceeding $10 million. The two-bedroom condos, each spanning 2,000 square feet, boasted luxurious features such as 10-foot-tall ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, heated floors, and a private elevator entrance. Djokovic, however, quashed speculation of combining them, maintaining distinct residences.

Additionally, he invested in a $5.77 million penthouse in another Renzo Piano-designed building in Miami, with the property completed in 2019 but sold in 2020 for $6 million, shortly after his 19th Grand Slam title. Returning to his roots in Belgrade, Djokovic purchased a penthouse overlooking Lake Pavlova for $675,000. This three-bedroom unit underwent modernization, reflecting his commitment to revitalizing his hometown. Djokovic’s impact extends beyond real estate; he contributed to the Novak Tennis Center’s creation in 2009 and played a role in establishing Novak 1 Cafe & Restaurant and Square Nine, the city’s only luxury five-star hotel. The latest addition to Djokovic’s real estate portfolio is a $10 million Moroccan-style mansion in Marbella, Spain. Serving as his current home base, the residence features nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, marble floors, crystal chandeliers, a home theater, Turkish bath, a spacious indoor gym, and a tennis court where Djokovic practices with his two young children. This lavish retreat became a focal point during the pandemic, offering glimpses into the champion’s private haven through his Instagram posts.
