Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético Madrid, has for 15 years proven that he is an excellent real estate investor, having bought dozens of luxury properties in Madrid with his wife.
Simeone has been at the helm of Atlético Madrid not for one, not for two, but for fifteen years.
Since December 23, 2011, he has arguably been one of the most successful coaches.
However, while he has achieved footballing miracles on Atlético Madrid’s bench, what is even more impressive is his parallel work in property investment using the money earned from coaching.
Knowing that a football career eventually comes to an end and wanting to secure the best possible future for himself and his family, Simeone has built an entire real estate empire in Madrid.
He owns a total of 180 apartments and seven villas under his name and that of his second wife, Carla Pereyra.
Together, they are one of the most financially powerful couples in the world of football showbiz.
The exact sums they own may not be publicly known, but it is certain that we are talking about many millions, considering they generate income both from renting and selling their properties.
It is also certain that their two daughters, Francesca and Valentina, and his three sons from his first marriage to Carolina Baldini (Giovanni, Gianluca, and Giuliano), have secured a wealthy future, with “half of Madrid” belonging to them.
When you own so much real estate, it is only natural that the home hosting his new family looks like a… palace.
A football field, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a kitchen that would make any chef in the world jealous, countless bedrooms and bathrooms, and of course garages for all the cars he owns, are the main features of the Simeone family residence.
