Just a couple of months after it graced the pages of the Wall Street Journal, Oscar De La Hoya’s Las Vegas-area home popped up on the market as a glam $20 million listing.
The championship boxer’s custom-built pad, a triple-gated mansion in the exclusive Strata community in Henderson, Nevada packs almost 9,000 square feet of living space, 2,409 square feet of outdoor living area, and amenities galore. Not to mention plenty of gold accents that hint at the owner’s illustrious career.
After heavily customizing the one-story modern home, De La Hoya moved in late last year with plans to boost boxing’s popularity in Vegas.
And while we don’t know how the rest of his plans are going, the boxer now seems ready to part ways with the Las Vegas mansion — nicknamed Casa de Oro or House of Gold — listing it for $20 million with Zar Zanganeh of The Agency Las Vegas.

His long list of accolades cemented his status as one of the most accomplished boxers of his era. However, he has also been a controversial figure at times, with issues like substance abuse and domestic violence allegations surfacing over the years.
