Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is making headlines again, but this time, it’s not for his on-field prowess. The NFL star is reportedly embarking on a significant home renovation project, joining the growing trend of celebrity “iceberg houses.”
Big changes at Travis Kelce’s Kansas City mansion?
Travis Kelce, the three-time Super Bowl champion is reportedly upgrading his Kansas City mansion with a luxurious new feature. Having earned a staggering $93 million throughout his NFL career, including a recent two-year, $34.25 million contract extension, Kelce has plenty of financial flexibility. Beyond the field, Kelce has expanded his wealth through lucrative TV commercials, shows, and his popular podcast “New Heights,” co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce. Industry experts believe the podcast could be worth over $100 million, giving Kelce more than enough funds to indulge in high-end upgrades for his 17,000-square-foot Leawood home.
The latest addition to Kelce’s property is a massive underground man cave, which is being designed as part of the growing trend of “iceberg houses.” This trend is gaining traction among celebrities who opt to build more of their homes below ground. The concept allows for expansive, hidden living spaces while maintaining a sleek, low-profile exterior. Kelce’s man cave, set to feature a state-of-the-art golf simulator, is just one example of the unique amenities being added to his mansion.
Kelce’s property, nestled in a secluded cul-de-sac on a 3.5-acre lot, already includes an impressive array of features. These include a two-level movie theater, a wine cellar, a club room with a bar, and an expansive outdoor area with a pool, hot tub, and waterfall. For those who enjoy fitness and sports, the estate also boasts a gym, sauna, tennis/pickleball court, and even a miniature golf course. The addition of the underground golf simulator is expected to elevate the mansion’s recreational offerings to new heights.
While some real estate experts caution about the financial risks of building iceberg homes, Kelce’s financial standing and personal connections, including his relationship with Swift, make such investments a feasible luxury. If Kelce wants to build the ultimate man cave, it’s a choice he can certainly afford.
