Sharapova made a massive profit on the pad

She bought the home for £3m 13 years ago.

But she has now sold it to a basketball hero who has settled in the area for £18.5m – more than six times as much.

And according to OC Register, the buyer of the epic house is none other than Luka Doncic.

Doncic, 26, stunned the NBA when he traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in February.

The Slovenian is seen as the long-term successor to veteran superstar LeBron James as the face of the Lakers.

And Doncic and the franchise showed their commitment to one another this summer.

He signed a staggering new three-year deal worth £120m – with the option of an extra year in 2028-29.

And as he plans on sticking around in LA, he used some of that cash to put down more permanent roots – by purchasing Sharapova’s former home.

The 2004 Wimbledon champion is looking to settle back in Europe with her fiance Alexander Gilkes, with whom she has a three-year-old son Theodore.

And that means selling her incredible five-bed LA property.

As per Sharapova’s designs, the mansion boasts stunning panoramic sea views from a balcony and a grand kitchen.

There is an outdoor Japanese-style swimming pool and barbecue area plus daybeds on the grass.

But arguably the best feature of Joncic’s new house is a bowling alley featuring two lanes to keep his eye in away from the court.

Sharapova was recently inducted into tennis’ Hall of Fame with a classy gesture from former rival Serena Williams.

And she has extended her growing business portfolio since retiring by adding a line of furniture this summer – before enjoying a beer-fuelled night with David Beckham in New York.
