Is that a decapitated Bob's boy?

Oscar De La Hoya Mansion in Las Vegas, NV ($20,000,000)
Funky PricingIt looks like an airport lounge. Cozy enough for a short rest but not cozy enough to live in.
I never understood houses like this, it always is way too damn big and has a hotel vibe to them. Never a lived in vibe.
It’s the fact that you can afford it is the most important part.
If business casual was a house
Bingo!
Certainly doesn't answer to a "cozy" description in any way.
I don't think you become a world champion Olympic boxer living a "cozy" lifestyle.
The mansion is absolutely gorgeous! The craps table painting which contains all the billiards equipment is a nice touch.
Also highly amused by the three fire extinguishers in the kitchen.
3 fire extinguishers?! I didn’t notice that!!
A lot of it is surprisingly tasteful, although that row of tv screens says sports bar to me.
Too funny -- I got to that picture and thought "Seems like a chill bar I'd probably hit up at least once to see what the crowd is like."
Yeah, the whole thing feels like a hotel resort lobby more than a home.
bro I could vibe with a house that looked like this

I was similarly surprised.
I actually think the row of TVs is well done. It makes sense in that space, they’re proportionate to the size of the room, and it’s much better than a 2x2 setup—it maintains the height of the room and other lines. It’s not as practical from a viewing perspective, but from an aesthetic standpoint, it’s quite nice.
That's the Watchmen Ozymandias room
I think it's beautiful. I want those hanging lights in the kitchen!
Could you imagine having all of this? I think life would get boring if you could just have everything....
I'd be perfectly fine not needing to work a day in my life. Let me pursue my hobbies and not be scared of bankruptcy when I go to the doctors office
bro, exactly. i’m retired. it will be as good or better than you hope.
Good for you, drugtrafficer! What line of work do you do, that got you into that position?
Sold drugs. Duh.
risk management. nothing exotic. i just don’t have expensive tastes. it doesn’t take a ton of money, despite what we are told.
My mom says, “that’s what’s so great about being retired….” before a sentence at least once a week.
Yeah, plus it’d be a full time job maintaining all that property ;)
Oh man I imagine at that point you have at least a dozen people coming in a week to clean and maintain for you.
The running costs for such a place must be stupid. Taxes, mortgage, maintenance, cleaning, decorating, cooling (heating?).
Most definitely. I think Mike Tyson was saying he was spending upwards of $100,000 a month to maintain his big boy mansion. And that's just basic maintenance.
That’s not normal. It’s definitely expensive, but he is absolutely paying over retail and paying for stuff that a smarter person wouldn’t.
The bigger issue than the money is the headache. It might not cost $100k, but these places still have 5-10 trades stopping by every week, which is a pain to deal with. It’s a full-time job—those who can afford it hire a full-time “property manager” just to deal with it.
That's crazy. To have a house so big you need to hire someone to manage what happens there on a day to day basis. Also seems on brand for Tyson to be spending extravagant amounts of money on stuff he could do so for much less
I know someone who had to label Tuesdays as off-limits, because otherwise, they had contractors there 7 days a week. They needed at least one break.
Absolutely wild. Then do you just hide the other 6 days?
Sounds miserable to me. I’d never want a constant stream of people coming in and out to maintain my property, part of the appeal of having all that money is the privacy and serenity you could afford.
when you have enough to have this house you have enough to hire someone to run it.
I think life would get boring if you could just have everything....
guess it would if you didn't like to travel but the world is huge and it would be impossible to see it all in 70 or 80yrs.
He literally had to fight for it
That’s what the fishnets and teddies are for!
I gotta respect the choice in landscaping instead of wasting tons of water to grow grass in the dessert.
But weed in the dessert is first class!
What's with the fire extinguishers on the wall in the kitchen?
Is that an art display, overboard safety, a sign of the cook's abilities...? LOL
Plenty of smooth surfaces to do coke from.
At least he gave his daughter to Travis barker, so she won’t see that
I think the house behind it was in a movie. It’s going to ruin the rest of my day trying to remember it.
Not what I'd spend my 20 million on.
I see this as a problem with almost every super expensive multi million dollar home. If I was looking to spend $20M on a home, I'd want to custom build.
Custom building a $20M home is an absolute nightmare. I say this from experience around lots of $20M custom builds. Almost everyone who does it regrets it after it’s all done (if they ever even finish)
Can you explain more? I’m curious why?
They take forever to build, there are tons of people to manage, you never really get what you want, and after the 3-5 years before the general contractors “finish” (they will be there forever making updates and fixes, anyway), you then have a host of trades in and out of the house doing maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep forever. Just organizing all of that is a full-time job, and those who can afford to do so hire a full-time property manager to handle all of it. Not to do all the work—just to schedule, coordinate, negotiate, etc. with the multitude of contractors it takes to maintain properly.
Think of it like when you have an appointment with your cable company and the exterminator on the same day. Now instead of two people coming by, make those two whole crews of people, and it’s happening 20+ days a month. It’s exhausting; it’s never really “home.” I don’t feel bad for anybody with a $20M house, but I understand why that part sucks.
all wealth building seems to me like more handcuffs than anything
Is that $20,000,000 a month for the AC? I can't imagine trying to keep that place cool.
Powder room?

haha, yeah I reacted to that too!
Is it just me or do all the kitchen cabinets look cheapline?
I love the big Boy statue.
Does it come with the Bob's Big Boy statue? because that thing is fire. Related, I kind of love the fire extinguisher decor in the kitchen.
I’m gonna be in my office, rolling stuff off my desk.
It’s worth the price because you know you’ll find 40mil worth of cocaine there!
Why doesn't Oscar like Big Boy?
My parents live down the mountain from this house. I've often looked at it and thought it was some kind of medical clinic. Never knew it was Oscar's house.
Learn something new every day!
Man, I really dislike it. Feels devoid of a soul to me.
So you want to put your fire extinguishers in a convenient place but don’t want it to be an eyesore? Make it a “modern art” piece!
It looks like a damned office building that someone just moved some semi-domestic furniture into.
I hate it. But in its defense: if you are stupid rich and want to live in a house that echoes the vibe of Las Vegas casinos, this is a prime choice.
So many of these mansions look like convention centers to me.
Was this on million dollar listing la as a development?
One of the first modern houses I see that aren’t just contractor grade white walls, even the absudr expensive house that guy who never touched grass visited was like that and they wanted like 150 million for it
GTA vibes
Looks like a W hotel
Pretty shitty excavation job on that slope in the yard.
For 20m can you make me a nice rock wall instead of a transition from clean yard to a pile of rock vomit?
It’s like living in a car dealership.
The single tree in the backyard really brings some charm.
I’d cross dress for that
20m to live in Vegas? 😂😂 if you have fuck you money at least pay attention to the 3 most important parts of your property, location, location, location.
You’re right, but also I think most of his business is there.
Yeah, I can understand that. If you're stuck somewhere for a bit and the money is enough, then I might just take the L for my mental sanity and move out asap.
He’s a former boxer so living in Vegas makes a lot of sense
Hey, maybe this is just pocket change and he can take it as a full loss and not blink idk, just seems like a bad "investment" for $20m.
Vegas is an incredible location. World class dining and entertainment. Virtually no natural disasters other than flash flooding, but the city’s storm drain system is well designed to handle that. The only bad weather is high heat, but everywhere has AC and people frequent pools. Low traffic compared to other larger cities. Major international airport. Beautiful national parks nearby. Lots of recreation nearby (lake, mountain sports, camping).
You're right, I'm just forward looking and putting $20m in this climate, change, seems pretty risky. I advise people to pull out of Florida and Texas for similar reasons even though they have lovely towns.
The way we’re going, Vegas is gonna have beach front soon
You made me wonder, worst case is ~215', Vegas is 2000', but even if it was possible Vegas would be under long before the Sierra Nevadas. Louisiana, Florida, Texas, and New England are massive fucked though.

Plus, when the water wars really start, Vegas will be (one of the) last place I'd want to find myself.
I was there one summer and it was so hot out that I could feel the heat from the sidewalk through my converse soles. No. Thanks. Visiting is fine, but long term residents... ya'll are a wild bunch of folks!
Edit: I made a joke about last vegas water availability and people comment well actually…. It was a joke.
The water wars will be fought between the CA farmers who waste water every day to ship alfalfa to the Saudis and China, the chip manufacturers in AZ, and the dickheads who need 1 golf course for every 10 people in UT. Vegas has practically transitioned to Dune living already.
The water shortage is driven by Southern California’s agriculture and large population. Plus the lake they draw from is outside Vegas. Vegas is one of the best water conservation cities in the word. We only need 3% of the Colorado River water that flows down to the southwest.

Whatever, come lose your money and then leave, that's better for us anyway.
Nothing says "new money" like stupid yet expensive art.
It's not even stupid now, it's just so incredibly banal. Stupid would indicate some attempt at thought.
Something tells me they call him the Golden Boy
Nice crib.
I actually love it. Anyone have an extra $19,999,980 I could borrow?
Haven't seen a Big Boy in a while; did it have to be like this?
this is surprisingly tasteful, looks like some sort of office park/hotel thing but isn't offending.
This is probably where they’ll film Knives Out 3.
Now let's see Oscar De La Renta
He’s made more money from Golden Boy Promotions than he ever made as a boxer.
Let him spend it any way he wants to. Most of his business is in LV nowadays anyway.
This is way nicer than the $20 million homes in my area!
This house screams of needing people around you all the time.
This house screams of needing people around you all the time.
Or taking care of those who took care of you when times were tough?
Boxers/MMA fighters spend a lot of time after big fights rehabbing at home. Sitting on the couch covered in huge welts, bumps, and bruises with someone holding ice on your head and body. This home has lots of space for that.
20 million for housing.
3.50 for landscaping.
not going to lie, if I had idiotic amounts of money, I'd live there. Well, I'd pay to have the house moved to somewhere with a bit more water. cuz, idiotic levels of money.
The living room and main Bedroom look Cozy
Neat
I love it, but no privacy due to big windows and no fencing/trees
So would a place like this be built super well? Like the construction and finish, the walls, the flooring, it's all solid? Seriously asking. I know in LA, people are generally told to be wary of newer homes, even expensive ones.
Looks pretty great but I would have put the outdoor living space between the house and the pool.
Hey, a house that looks like an office park.
Why would anyone ever put a mirror behind a cooktop?! What a nightmare to clean.
It already looks dated. It’s expensive to look cheap
Now we know who stole the Big Boy statue. 😀
What, no S&M room? We all know of Oscar's proclivities.
That’s way out to the mountains in east las vegas which is the shittier side of town, they are building these mega mansions out that way for some reason.
That view at night!
I want to learn more about that Warhol/Basquiat piece. I just looked it up and see similar things they’ve done together, but I don’t see this exactly. Does anyone here know anything about that?
This is the first of these huge houses that actually looks live someone could live in. I like it.
There’s all this outdoor seating and somehow no pool next to it
Swag
Seems a bit like a hotel, but I really love that walk in closet. And the view.
It’s modern and clean. Like it!
This is someone that wanted a huge mansion but not to loose touch with the elements
I like it. He earned it.
Where does he keep his fishnets? 🦵🏼
I hate those eye sores on the mtn. God bless America you would think they could afford an architect with some imagination. There is like 10 of these shit boxes in Henderson on the mountain and it’s ugly as fuck. Sorry that was said with so much passion, but every time I drive by them I get all fired up. Architecture is one of my special interests and this house upsets my tism.
All that just to have another mcmansion right behind it.
Soulless.
Edit: Reddit hates opinions
Looks like a hotel. No personality.
