Colin Kaepernick, With $20 Million Net Worth, Bid San Francisco Adieu After Selling His Bay Area Mansion for a Ridiculous Amount in 2017

Colin Kaepernick did not part ways with the San Francisco 49ers on good terms. After being drafted in 2011 as the 36th pick overall, the quarterback lasted just about six seasons in the league before being snubbed as a free agent. While he was bidding a tearful adieu to San Fran, he had to sell his valuable abode in the Bay Area, yet he incurred decent profit from it.

According to Los Angeles Times, the 4,600-square-foot house was originally built in 1999. The 49ers signal-caller extensively renewed and remodeled the property during his stay in Bay Area. Kaepernick bought the estate for a whopping $2.7 million in 2014 as per the records.

The San Jose mansion of Colin Kaepernick

The mansion features some stunning details like “custom front doors, a wall aquarium in the foyer, and a second-story sitting area with a glass-bottom floor.” Furthermore, the house also has a “living room with a fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, an office/den, four bedrooms, and 5.5 bathrooms round out the living spaces. There’s also a paneled lounge/game room featuring a leather-wrapped bar.”

The estate has a covered pavilion and a swimming pool with a spa outside surrounded by a fence. And the view of the city lights, a magnificent valley, and the surrounding marvel of the mountains is as breathtaking as it gets.

The then 29-year-old quarterback who opted out of his 49ers contract after the 2016 season, sold his San Jose home in a bid to say goodbye to the city. He sold the mansion for $3.075 million, or $180,000 over the asking price. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the former 49ers star is worth approx $20 million. Hence, the funds gained from the mansion account for about 15% of his wealth.

Will Kaepernick return for the 2022 season?

During his tenure with the Niners, Kaepernick started 58 games in six seasons. In his last season (2016) with the franchise, he recorded 196 pass completions in 331 attempts, for 2,241 yards, scoring 16 touchdowns across 12 games played. That season proved to be the worst season in his NFL career with a 1-10 record.

However, Kaepernick has been persistent in his approach to reaching the NFL once again. Throughout this offseason, he has been seen working out with various athletes, showcasing his strong arm to the league. But will any franchise take the bet to own a player with a complicated persona among fans?
