T-Mobile CEO John Legere, who recently announced he'll be stepping away from the company in 2020, dropped $16.7 million on a 6,240-square-foot mansion in Naples, Florida back in October.
The four-bedroom, seven-bathroom home boasts an eight-car garage, a pool in the backyard, a boat dock, and views of the Intracoastal Waterway.
As Business Insider's Paige Leskin previously reported, Legere has been the CEO of T-Mobile since September of 2012 and is considered to be one of the highest-paid executives in the US. In fact, last year, he was compensated a jaw-dropping $66.5 million for his work.
In November, he announced that he'll be stepping down from the position in May of 2020.
T-Mobile isn't the only place Legere has decided to leave. According to the Wall Street Journal's Katherine Clarke, he recently sold his historic $17.5 million Manhattan penthouse to billionaire fashion designer Giorgio Armani.
The penthouse, which is located at 91 Central Park West, spans over 3,000 square feet and looks like the inside of a church.
According to the report, Legere bought the penthouse back in 2015 for $18 million and listed it for $22 million in 2018. However, he later took it off the market. Armani, who bought the off-market unit, already owns the other apartment on the floor. The purchase has made him the sole owner of the entire floor.
The stunning four-bedroom home features stained-glass windows that boast views of Central Park, a wood-carved bar, and a 1,700 square-foot terrace.
