The Great One is coming back.
To his old mansion, that is. According to the Los Angeles Times, Gretzky purchased his old mansion back for a cool $13.5 million in Thousand Oaks, California.
Gretzky additionally sold it for $18.5 million back in 2007 to former New York Mets superstar Lenny Dykstra. Riddled with financial troubles, Dykstra went bankrupt and the mansion went up for foreclosure action in 2010. According to the Los Angeles Times, the house has changed hands on multiple counts.
The mansion is located next to the Sherwood Country Club, where Gretzky and his son-in-law, Dustin Johnson, are members. DJ set the course record back in 2014 with The Great One witnessing it live next to him.
A Venetian style home built on 6.5 acres, the mansion features two different guest houses, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a gym, a theater room and a chef’s kitchen.
Wayne and his wife Janet have bought and resold several homes over the last few years in the Los Angeles area.
Even though Gretzky sold the house ten years ago, buying it back for $5 million less is not a bad deal at all, and it also highlights just how volatile housing markets can be.
