James Harden was back in the Western Conference. However, we do not know much about his house details if he’s moved out of his previous one. But here is all about his $10 million super-mansion in Houston. It’s a sprawling 26,000-square-foot property that he bought years ago, yet it holds a special place in his heart.
With 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, this mansion feels more like a private resort than a residence! The amenities include a fitness room, wine cellar, office, and a full bar for hosting friends. The mansion also has a backyard that is a retreat— a pool, outdoor kitchen, and firepit where he can spend hours unwinding after a long season. But, what really catches your attention is his car collection.

It is far from ordinary! A Rolls-Royce Wraith, which is a beautiful red and black two-tone model, is perhaps his most iconic ride. It’s not just about looks. With a 6.6-liter V12 engine under the hood, the Wraith packs power that matches Harden’s on-court swagger.

Then there’s the Bentley Bentayga. It’s a beast of a luxury SUV, designed to rival the Rolls, and you can tell it’s all about making a statement. And let’s not forget James Harden’s customized Range Rover, which looks like something straight out of a dream! It’s matte black with bold red accents. He even has a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, all white and pristine, that matches his clean style. And then there’s The Beard’s Chevy Camaro SS—a nod to his love for speed, a blacked-out beauty that he custom-built himself.
Every single one of these cars speaks about James’ larger-than-life persona. However, the hoopster has created a space where you can truly relax and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. And for Harden, that’s exactly what he’s built in his life.
