The Coral Gables home, purchased by Alex Rodriguez and his wife in 2005 at $12 million, could soon be going up for sale. It will be one of the many assets discussed during the divorce settlements to divide up the Rodriguez fortune. But still, even that price tag seems more like pocket change to his $28 million per season contract. That salary is more than the entire Florida Marlins team roster combined!
Cynthia Rodriguez, A-Rod’s wife, filed for divorce this past Monday, claiming A-Rod had “emotionally abandoned his wife and children.” New York Post had reported a week earlier of rumors that A Rod had been making late night visits to Madonna’s apartment building in West Central Park. Coincidence? I think not.
However, Florida is a “no fault” divorce state, meaning in general assets are divided up equally, regardless of the reason for divorce. Because of this, speculators are saying that even if their was proof of A-Rod’s unfaithfulness, it would not impact the division of the estate.
A-Rod’s real estate agent is estimating that the home in Coral Gables will retail at its original purchase value of $12 million. The home has 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The timing and question of whether or not the home will be put up for sale is still in the air, but we could see this estate on the market in the near future here in South Florida.
