Alright, so you wanna know about Allen Iverson’s house, huh? Well, lemme tell ya what I heard, it ain’t easy keepin’ track of where these rich folks live, they move around more than chickens in a thunderstorm.
First off, I heard tell he had a real fancy place, a big ol’ mansion down in Atlanta, Georgia. Yep, that’s right, down south where it gets hot as blazes in the summer. They said it was somethin’ else, cost a whole pile of money, like four and a half million dollars, can ya believe it? Four and a half million! That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life, I reckon.
This place, they said it was huge, almost 10,000 square feet. I don’t rightly know what a square foot is, but it sounds big. Probably got more rooms than my whole house, that’s for sure. It was on some fancy road too, somethin’ about West Paces Ferry Road. Sounds like a place where you gotta wear your good shoes all the time.
But that ain’t the only place he had, no sir. Seems like he had another mansion before that one, a real whopper out in Alpharetta, also in Georgia. I ain’t never been to Alpharetta, but I heard it’s where all the rich folks go to hide out. This house was even bigger, they said, 14,000 square feet! Can you imagine? Seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms! Who needs seven bathrooms? I guess if you got that much money, you gotta spend it on somethin’. He sold that one back in 2010 for, get this, 2.6 million dollars. Seems like he made a little money on that deal, huh?
Now, I also heard some stories ’bout him havin’ trouble with money later on. You know how it is, sometimes folks get a lot of money and then they don’t know how to keep it. They said he went broke, even though he made a whole heap of money playin’ that basketball game. Said the bank took away two of his houses. Foreclosed, they called it. That’s a fancy word for “took it away ‘cause he couldn’t pay no more”. Poor fella, I guess all that money just slipped through his fingers like sand.
- Atlanta Mansion: Bought in 2009 for $4.5 million, nearly 10,000 square feet.
- Alpharetta Mansion: Sold in 2010 for $2.6 million, 14,000 square feet, 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms.
There was also some talk about a place in Gladwyne, but I ain’t sure ’bout that one. They called it a “hideout.” Sounded kinda secretive, like maybe he didn’t want folks knowin’ where he was. Rich folks are funny that way, always tryin’ to hide from somethin’ or somebody.
Anyways, that’s the gist of what I know about Allen Iverson’s houses. He had some big fancy places, that’s for sure. But seems like he couldn’t hold onto ’em. It just goes to show ya, money ain’t everything. You can have all the money in the world, but if you ain’t got good sense, it won’t do you no good. And seems like Mr. Iverson maybe didn’t have as much sense as he had money, at least when it came to keepin’ a roof over his head.
So, if you’re lookin’ for his address now, well, I can’t help ya there. Like I said, these folks move around so much, it’s hard to keep track. He might be livin’ in a whole ‘nother place by now, maybe even a little shack in the woods for all I know! But one thing’s for sure, he used to live in some mighty fine houses, that’s the truth.
And that whole story ’bout him and his friends at the airport? Heard tell one of ’em lost their car, couldn’t remember where they parked it. So, his mama, bless her heart, just said “Forget about it” and bought ’em a brand new SUV right then and there! Can you believe that? Must be nice to have that kind of money, just buyin’ new cars like they’re candy bars.
But that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. Rich folks and their big houses, it’s a whole different world, ain’t it?
