Four-time NBA champion Tony Parker has been recently in the news due to his Hall of Fame induction. He joined the 2023 class of new inductees, becoming the first Frenchman to reach this milestone. However, a recent video has drawn the attention of NBA fans to a 700-year-old $10 million dollar off-court news regarding Parker, that seems to be straight out a fantasy saga.

It only emphasizes the league’s growing internationalization and the significance of varied players in influencing the NBA’s history. Meanwhile, Parker has also stunned NBA fans with his off-court shenanigans, putting his NBA money to good use.

Parker has utilized his $100 million net worth to make some expensive purchases. The 2007 NBA Finals MVP acquired the 21,000-square-foot, 700-year-old Chteau Saint Laurent in France in 2022. It has 22 rooms, a winery, and even an underground passage that connects to neighboring castles. Parker reportedly spent more than $10 million on the purchase.

The opulent mansion is a kingdom of its own and seems to be straight out of a fairy tale book. Parker surely has a taste for the finer things in life. We often marvel at the prized possessions of NBA billionaires MJ and LeBron, but this dream abode puts the two NBA legends’ possessions to shame.

Parker’s other prized possession 

Parker also possessed a 53-acre Hill Country mansion in San Antonio, known as 9 Rue Parker, which he listed for $19.5 million in 2021. The NBA veteran struggled to find a buyer and ultimately decided to take the property off the market despite its impressive amenities, which included a sizable water park with slides, lazy rivers, grottos, and a diving platform.
