Ortiz is spending far less on the condo than he sold his mansion for, purchasing a three-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury home featuring a library and a terrace in the 77-unit building where prices range from $3.25 million to $3.75 million, according to the Post.

Trading Boston For Miami

Having spent 14 of his 20 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, where he won three World Series and the World Series MVP in 2013. Ortiz traded the Northeast’s chilly climes for the Florida sunshine when he retired in 2016.

Ortiz’s ex-wife, Tiffany, oversaw the construction and development of his former mansion, The Wall Street Journal reported, paying $1.5 million for the lot the same year that Ortiz retired. The couple owned multiple homes around the time they sold their former marital home in Miami in 2023, according to the Journal.

$160 Million Career Earnings

At the time of his retirement in 2016, Ortiz earned $22 million, according to Forbes, with $16 million of that amount representing his salary. He signed endorsement deals with multiple brands, including MasterCard MA, JetBlue JBLU, Coca-Cola KO, and Buffalo Wild Wings, while continuing to work with previously affiliated companies such as Dunkin’ Donuts, New Balance, and Marucci.

According to ESPN, Ortiz signed a one-year deal in 2015 that earned him $16 million, with team options for 2016 and 2017. However, he never played in the 2017 season. Ortiz earned over $160 million during his entire career, according to Sportskeeda.

Shooting In The Dominican Republic

Ortiz was severely shot and wounded in 2019 while at the Dial Bar and Lounge in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He had three surgeries. Eventually, 11 suspects were arrested. The Dominican Attorney General’s office stated that Ortiz had not been the intended target.

“It was crazy because you go from spending a whole day with your kids in a facility where your kids are having fun, and all of a sudden you’re in a hospital, not knowing what is going to end up happening to you,” Ortiz told WBZ-TV three months after the shooting. “You learn that your life can change in seconds, not only yours – your life and the people around you.”
