Inside Jimmy Butler's amazing $7m mansion including wine cellar, music room and own cafe
Jimmy Butler is one of the NBA's most experienced players and he's used a chunk of his career earnings on an impressive Los Angeles home which features some eye-catching details
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has opened the doors to his sprawling multi-million dollar mansion - where he even has his own coffee shop.
The six-time NBA All Star let fans take a peak into the house where he spends his time in the off-season. While basketballers are known for their opulent lifestyles and extravagant houses, Butler has taken luxury to the next level with his Califronian paradise.
Situated just outside of San Diego, the small forward's huge abode, which has a Spanish revival vibe to it, features everything from a luxurious music room to a wine cellar. However, most impressively is the coffee shop Butler has had built into the house.

During a video tour of the $7million (£5.4m) space with Architectural Digest, Butler revealed that the shop sells his own brand of coffee, 'Bigface'. However a cup of the strong stuff comes at a hefty price according to the man himself.
"This is the first Bigface coffee shop in my own home," Butler said. "I will allow my neighbors to come in here, but for everybody here, coffee will cost you 60 bucks and I'm not f*****g around," he added, while sitting behind the counter of the in-house shop.
Butler's love for coffee first developed during the Covid pandemic. While the NBA created an isolated bubble to ensure play could continue, the 35-year-old started to sell the hot beverage to fellow players.
Bigface, which is slang for a $100 bill, was launched by Butler in October 2021 and his home now boasts the company's very first location. The veteran NBA star also let viewers into his astonishing wine cellar that contains a humbling 20,000 bottles of wine.
He also explained how his love for wine, and the subsequent cellar, came about thanks to his friend and Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg after the actor introduced him to the delicacies of the drink. While showing off the rest of the house, which features a massive outdoor pool complete with cabana and kitchen, Butler revealed that post-basketball he's looking forward to simply taking it easy in his coffee shop.
“This is my spot. After basketball, this is what I want to be doing," Butler said. "Coffee’s a lot like wine in the sense that you can never know everything about it. But more than anything you get to sit down with people that you don’t get to see every day. And that’s always been my dream. Just chill, have coffee and talk to some really cool people.”
Elsewhere in the home there is a vast upstairs landing, enormous primary bedroom and a conservatory with wall scaling windows. However, the holiday-like atmosphere to the house is not by accident as Butler revealed he designed the whole place to give it a resort-like feel.
Speaking affectionately about the gigantic home, Butler also disclosed that he "put everything" into the house. Growing up in Texas, he endured a turbulent upbringing - something he thought about a lot when constructing the mansion.
"I grew up with a whole bunch of nothing," he said. "So I’ve dreamed of having a home for myself, for my family, and I put everything into this house.”
Butler's star has risen in recent times from being part of Netflix's new documentary series 'Starting 5'. The show followed Butler himself, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, and Domantas Sabonis throughout the 2023/24 NBA season.
The Heat are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 2-2 record so far. Defeats to the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks have been offset by victories over the Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons.
Butler, meanwhile, is averaging 16.8 PPG, 6.0 on assists and has a 48.8 FG% as he looks to make this season one to remember and finally propel the Heat to the promised land of landing an NBA Championship, having reached the finals and lost twice.
