But according to The Wall Street Journal, Sharapova has put the mansion up for sale at the starting price of a whopping £18.5m ($25m).
Sharapova is engaged to British businessman Alexander Gilkes and the couple are looking to leave Los Angeles.
They are understood to want to move to Europe.
They would be leaving behind their stunning home which boasts of sea views and an indoor BOWLING ALLEY.
It also has an outdoor pool that is connected to the house and complements the patio area.
Her bowling alley – complete with two lanes – sits next to her downstairs kitchen.
Sharapova even designed the property with a focus on togetherness.
Giant doors from her open-plan kitchen slide across to join up with the Japanese-style pool and barbecue area.

There are huge daybeds on the grass area, which is purposely placed on the other side of the crystal-clear pool.
A balcony on the second floor provides panoramic views across Los Angeles with Catalina Island seen in the distance.
Once the sun has set, Sharapova can then head pool-side with a spacious sitting area on her patio which is heated by a giant fireplace.
The Russian called time on her career at the age of 32 in 2020 after winning five Grand Slams.
Sharapova retired a shadow of the player she was since returned from her drugs ban for meldonium in April 2017.
The doping suspension understandably damaged her reputation and brand, and she dropped to 373rd in the world.
