I shoulda bought this! I coulda got it for £10 million going on the strentgh of the pound!.. Now.. wheres my wallet..
TIBURON, Calif. - Retired tennis stars Andre Agassi and wife Steffi Graf have agreed to sell their mansion overlooking San Francisco Bay for $20 million - $3 million less than it sold for five years ago.
The 13,000-square-foot estate is being sold to Stuart Peterson, the chief of a hedge fund that invested early in the YouTube video-sharing Web site, according to Bill Bullock, whose real estate firm represents the couple. YouTube agreed last month to be acquired by Google for $1.65 billion dollars.
Agassi and Graf live most of the year in Las Vegas and had been asking $24.5 million for the property, which features 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a home theater, two pools, a tennis court and helicopter landing pad.
Agassi's financial advisers wanted him to get rid of the little-used compound to save on the cost of upkeep, Bullock said.
The deal was expected to close in January.

Well tell Steffi I'll put in an offer for $500,000 (about what my place is worth) - I'd offer more but I was looking for a snooker room and that elusive 12th bedroom! roflmao Oh and of course, I'm reducing my offer slightly to take account of the need for total refurb - their taste is appalling and we'll need to refit the kitchen(s) :D
