NBA legend Carmelo Anthony has stayed busy since retiring last year. Recently he joined Australia’s National Basketball League Next Stars program as a Global Ambassador. A 10-time NBA All-Star and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Anthony will also become part of the ownership group for a future NBL expansion team.
His role as ambassador focuses on attracting and mentoring top-tier global talent, enhancing the Australian league’s credibility, ESPN reports.
He has also been expanding the production company, Creative 7, he founded in 2021, and has been trying to make an imprint in Hollywood.
And last year, he joined as an executive producer of the stage musical “The Harder They Come” at New York’s Public Theater. Anthony’s longtime business partner, Asani Swann, co-founder of his production company Creative 7, will also serve as an executive producer.
Where Camelo Lives
In between all of this, he moved into a mansion in Westchester County, New York.
Anthony, best known for his standout performances with the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, and, most recently before retirement, the Los Angeles Lakers, has settled into a 13,000-square-foot mansion.
The home showcases his extensive contemporary art collection, featuring works by artists such as Kehinde Wiley and Nathaniel Mary Quinn.
Designed in collaboration with interior designer Cassandre Bonhomme, the mansion embraces a “modern vintage” aesthetic, blending rich colors, expensive fabrics, and complex fixtures.
According to Architectural Digest, Bonhomme worked closely with Anthony to transition the home’s original Victorian style into a more personalized space, using Anthony’s curated collection of furniture, artwork, and figurines from his travels, most notably his trips to Africa.
The mansion, built in 2006, originally included seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Anthony’s son, Kiyan, lives with him and has a basketball-themed room, as he pursues a career in professional basketball, following in his father’s footsteps in college.
The formal dining room features an antique table and crystal chandelier, while the kitchen boasts high-end appliances and rich wood cabinets. The bar area combines dark wood detailing with plush leather barstools, according to Hommes.
One elaborate feature in the foyer is a custom mural of Muhammad Ali, crafted by artist Cryptik.
While Cryptik’s artworks generally range in price from $500 to $15,000, according to Artsy, the specific value of this custom piece is not disclosed in available sources.
The mural adds a bold focal point to the home’s eclectic design, that “modern vintage” aesthetic that Anthony and his interior designer Bonhomme have cultivated.
As Finurah previously reported, Anthony has an estimated net worth of $160 million, having played professional basketball for 20 years for the NBA.
Before moving to his Westchester mansion, Anthony lived in a 4,500-square-foot condo in Chelsea, Manhattan, convenient for his time playing for the Knicks and allowing him to commute easily to Madison Square Garden, according to Clutch Points.
Additionally, Anthony previously owned a mansion in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles, which he sold earlier in 2023 for $3 million.
