Muhаmmаd Alі’ѕ Mісhіgаn Home Sellѕ for $2.5M

Over two years after his death in 2016, Muhammad Ali’s former Michigan home has sold for $2.5 million. Put on the market by Ali’s widow, Lonnie Ali, in June, the estate is located in Berrien Springs. The 3,960-square-foot main house sits on gated riverfront property, which also features a pool, bathhouse, outdoor kitchen, climate-controlled garages, two barns, a basketball court, and an office. Naturally, the property wouldn’t be complete without its own freestanding gym decked out with, of course, a boxing ring, a steam room, a massage room, and a hot tub spa. The interiors are comfortable and decidedly not flashy as with many professional athletes. Rather, there is plenty of wood cabinetry, tiled floors, and warm carpeting that welcomed the frequent guests to the home, which could hold as many as 500.

Though the home sold for $2.5 million, the original asking price was listed at $2,895,037, a peculiar number until you realize that the 37 was added by the real estate firm, Cressy & Everett Real Estate, to pay homage to the 37 knockouts Ali—known as “The Greatest”—registered throughout his career. The buyer, the Turken Foundation, will still likely keep Ali’s memory alive as the new owners of the estate. While they’ve yet to publicly announce their plans for the property, the website of the New York City–based foundation states its mission is “to provide safe, supportive, and culturally appropriate housing for the Muslim students, to provide cultural, social and educational opportunities and experiences for the Muslim students, to promote cross-cultural relationships and understanding between various Muslim students’ cultures and American culture and tradition.” (Reminder: Ali was born Cassius Clay but, in 1964, changed his name when he converted to Islam.)
