“Just Outside My Budget Of $29.994 Million”: Lakers Fans Breath A Sigh of Relief as Russell Westbrook Takes Major Step Towards Exit Door in LA

Russell Westbrook was drafted in 2008 by Oklahoma City Thunder. From becoming a six-time NBA All-Star to setting an NBA record for triple-doubles, Westbrook has come a long way. Mr. Triple-Double is now playing for the Los Angeles Lakers as the point guard. At the age of 33, Westbrook’s net worth is approximately $200 million, and has reportedly earned $79.2 million in 2022 alone.

As the season is about to start, the trade rumors of Lakers player Russell Westbrook seem to be the hot topic at the moment. Amidst the possibility of the NBA star getting traded, Westbrook seems ready to move out of LA. At least, that is what the listing of his LA mansion is indicating.

Russell Westbrook decides to sell his Brentwood mansion

According to Wall Street Journal Real Estate, the Lakers point guard has reportedly listed his Brentwood mansion for sale at a whopping $30 million, or, to be more accurate, $29.995 million. Westbrook had bought the mansion in May, 2018, when he was playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The house stands on half an acre of land situated on one of the streets in Brentwood Park. The listings of the house have been given to Donnell Beverly Jr. at Berkshire Hathaway and Bjorn Farrugia at Hilton & Hyland.

Other than the Beverly Hills mansion, he also owned a house in Oklahoma, but he sold both the houses in 2020.
