LAS VEGAS, NV – Former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya certainly doesn’t like to let the grass grow underneath his feet, it seems, as just two months after holding a media event to publicly unveil the newly-constructed lavish mansion in Henderson’s affluent MacDonald Highlands community that he and his wife would be moving into, he is unexpectedly now attempting to flip the residence instead for a tidy sum.
Nicknamed “The Golden Boy of boxing,” De La Hoya, 51, had originally purchased the mansion in May 2022 – while it was still under construction by Las Vegas-based luxury builder Blue Heron Homes – in an all-cash transaction for $14.6 million, coming in as the priciest Las Vegas home purchase that month.
However, the legend of the squared circle has just now listed it on the open market for $20 million, which – if it sells for that amount – would represent a $5 million profit on his initial expenditure. It is currently unknown why he has decided to suddenly part ways with the property.
The residence, 720 Dragon Peak Drive, is located on a 1-acre plot of land and features 10,460 square-feet of living space, with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an eight-car garage.

De La Hoya reportedly spared no expense when it came to decorating the abode, building a trophy room celebrating of his boxing career in addition to a $500,000 man cave. The mansion boasts views of the city, mountain, and the famed Las Vegas Strip.
It also boasts numerous high-end amenities, including a golf simulator, game space, media room, home gym, hair salon, temperature-controlled wine room, and wet bar. In addition, the primary bedroom offers a spa-inspired bath and a private garden with outdoor shower.
The backyard features multiple pools – including one for doing laps – and outdoor dining spaces with TVs.
Over the course of his career, De La Hoya won 11 world titles in six different weight classes and a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics.
