Former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow reappeared on the news. However, this time it has nothing to do with his game on the field.
A former football player and current baseball player decided to spend part of the money he earned during his football career.
Tim Tebow switched from football to baseball, but one thing in his life is still the same - Florida is his home base. A philanthropist, minor league baseball player and former University of Florida quarterback, paid $ 3 million for a two-story home of approximately 8,300 square feet or 0, 077 hectares at the Glenn Kernan Golf and Country Club in South Jacksonville. Reported by the Jacksonville Daily.
A two-story mansion with an area of 0, 077 hectares was built in 2016. The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. There is also a 120-bottle wine room, a home theater, an entertainment room, a saltwater pool, a five-car garage and a games room with a bar.
Home design
The house is built in a modern design with exposed beams. Inside, there is a gourmet kitchen with marble countertops and two islets for seating, adjacent to the living room, which opens onto the patio. In addition, in the official dining room there is enough space for relaxation by a large company.
Outside, there is a large veranda overlooking the nearby lake and golf course. There is also a bonfire spot and a covered lounge and dinner area.
Career and personal life
This is the second property a professional athlete has acquired at this private golf club. In 2014, a baseball player bought a more modest home in Glen-Kernan Development for $ 1.4 million, and county records show that he still owns it.
Tim is now 31 years old and engaged to a 24-year-old South African model and winner of the 2017 Miss Universe contest Demi-Lei Nel-Peters. In high school, he was the most famous football star south of Jacksonville, where Tim Teboe's nonprofit foundation is now based. Tim was a two-time national champion and holder of the Heisman trophy as a player at the University of Florida on the Florida Gators team
The popular quarterback played in the NFL from 2010 to 2015, but his success could no longer compare with the one he used in college. In 2016, he decided to leave football and signed a contract with a minor baseball league at the New York Mets.
Charity
In addition to his sports skills, Tebow is known for his devotion to Christian convictions and his charitable work. Often before the start of the match, he would say a prayer, bowing his head on one knee and leaning on his hand, this action became known as Tebowing. Tebow fans widely imitated this movement, but many parodyed it as a mockery. Tebowing became a cultural phenomenon in the 2011 football season.
Being active in charity work even in college, Tebow founded the Tim Tebow Foundation in January 2010. A religious advocacy group works with children in need both in the United States and the Philippines, creating institutions for sick children, fulfilling the wishes of minors with life-threatening illnesses, and building playrooms in hospitals and orphanages.
