Before Becoming Tom Brady’s Landlord, Derek Jeter Enforced a Strict Rule For Anyone Who Visited His $22.5 Million Tampa Bay Mansion

Derek Jeter, who popularly stands as a Yankee revolutionary, with five World Series Rings, and 14 All-Star appearances, also holds the record for building and owning the largest riverside mansion in Tampa.

From the mansion’s interiors and exteriors to its tenants and demolition, Jeter’s waterfront mansion perpetually made the news. While everyone holds a fair estimate of the interiors of the mansion, there is no evidence to show it. And there is a reason for that.

What bizarre rule did Jeter set for his Tampa Mansion?

The five-time World Champion and Roberto Clemente Award winner, Jeter, had issued a set of rules for the house that every guest had to follow.

As reported by Intelligencer once, the Pinstripes captain prohibited the entry of mobile devices into the house. Locals term the multimillion-dollar mansion “St. Jetersburg.” Before entering the house, Jeter expected all the guests to leave their devices in a basket placed in the foyer.

As reported by a source, “He [Jeter] points and says, ‘Phones go there,’ so no one can take pictures inside his house.”

How much did Derek Jeter sell his Tampa Bay mansion for?

Derek Jeter sold his seven-bedroom, sixteen-bathroom, wine cellar, movie theater, and gym encompassing bay-side mansion for $22.5 million. The luxurious mansion covers 1.25 acres of land and exists as the “largest ever assembled waterfront property on Davis Islands.” Before Jeter sold the mansion, he was a landlord to two a star.

NFL superstar Tom Brady rented the mansion during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the same time, tainted Super Bowl star Antonio Brown arrived at The Bucs. This led to Brady inviting Brown to stay with him.

That being said, now, after the passing of hurricane Ian, Jeter’s Tampa Bay mansion may face demolition soon. It took Captain Clutch four years to build this riverside mansion at 58 Bahama Circle. And now, after the issuing of new flood regulations, the house may face demolition in the upcoming months.
