 James Hardin, who is best known as the superstar basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the NBA, has been able to snag some pretty luxurious real estate in Houston. In addition, Hardin has rented property in Beverly Hills where he's best known to throw a few parties. And these parties are absolutely wild. In fact, in 2019, Hardin had rented a $30 million dollar mansion in Beverly Hills that featured 14,500 square feet and boasted 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms among other deluxe features. This eventually turned into a lawsuit between Hardin and George Pietro Santo after a few parties that totaled $300,000 dollars in damage. In 2015, Hardin made a $2 million purchase for Catino Mobley's Houston home, a dig that featured 7,000 square feet and boasted 4 bedrooms and 5 and a half bathrooms. However, Hardin's most recent purchase was a $10 million dollar mansion in Houston that features a whopping 26,000 square feet. The home comes complete with a grotto, full bar and wine room in addition to a bunch of other luxurious features. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a house tour you don't want to miss. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses so please do not show up at any private residences because it is not safe for anyone. The NBA star of the Houston Rockets has made quite the lucrative career from professional basketball, amassing a net worth of $165 million dollars and still earning a salary of $40 million per season. Not too shabby. In August 2015, it was revealed that James Hardin had signed a $200 million dollar deal to leave Nike for rival sportswear company Adidas. It's a 13-year deal that will pay James an average of $50 million per year on top of his $14.7 million dollars he has already earned in basketball salary. Between June 2016 and June 2017, James Hardin earned $47 million from salary and endorsements alone and this was before he signed his record-breaking deal. Then on July 8, 2017, Hardin had signed a new contract that would be the richest contract in NBA history. The four-year extension with the Rockets paid Hardin $228 million dollars, an average of $57 million per year. To put things in perspective, in the fourth year of his contract, Hardin will earn more than $530,000 per game. By the end of his contract, his total career earnings when you combine salary and endorsements will be north of $560 million. Getting pretty close to that billion dollar mark saves from for the rest of us Hardin. Between June 2017 and 2018, Hardin earned $47 million dollars in various endeavors. This was followed by another $45 million dollars between June 2018 and 2019. So basically, Hardin will never have to worry about money ever again. While James' money is well-deserved, one thing about Hardin is that he likes to work hard and play hard. Hardin picked up his first Houston dig in 2015 for $2 million dollars and this home featured its very own theater. Hardin then went on to real estate in Beverly Hills, a party house that boasted over 14,000 square feet, a property and featured a wine cellar and bar. Most recently, Hardin upgraded to a mega mansion in Houston for $10 million. This place also features a wet bar and wine room. Seeing a bit of a theme here. Hey, what's going on guys?

And hit us up in the comments section down below for whose house tour we should do next. Let's get into the video. Hardin's first Houston home was purchased in 2015 before he had signed his big ticket. The mansion was formerly owned by former NBA star Catino Mobile and the purchase went down for about $2 million dollars. The Mediterranean-style residence was built in 2002 and sits at the end of a gated drive inside Royal Oaks Country Club. The property boasts wide views of the Fred Couple's design signature golf course and featured its own private movie theater. Upon entry, guests lucky enough to visit were entered through a grand foyer with a sweeping and semi-spiraling staircase spanning three stories. The former floor plan opens to a living room with raised ceilings and an elegant stone fireplace. The spacious home features 7,100 square feet of living space and boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms. In addition, the home includes its very own library and is decked out with custom built-ins including a beautifully centered island kitchen. Among the highlight amenities is a game room where we're willing to bet Hardin hosted a few team parties and a theater room that features cozy leather furnishings with drink holders. The massive retreat features one of the many cozy fireplaces, a study room, walk-in closets, big enough to be a room in a house and a large soaking tub. While the interior is pretty glamorous, Hardin's outdoors are pretty dope. The property features half-acre grounds which feature an infinity pool and a separate spa. In addition, there's an outdoor fireplace, a built-in barbecue and outdoor bar for the complete resort-like setting. In 2019, Hardin had rented a $30 million mega mansion in Beverly Hills. The dig featured 14,500 square feet of property and boasted eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Among some of the glamorous features were a front yard, fountain, gym, spa, wine cellar, pool and wet bar. In other words, the place was insane. Essentially everything you needed to throw a dope party. After a series of parties that Hardin had thrown, George Santo Pietro was suing Hardin due to over $300,000 of damages. Santo Pietro claims Hardin signed a contract to use the home as a vacation rental for one week starting in August 11th, 2019, paying $82,000 for the stay. However, the contract stated that Hardin could not have more than seven adults on the premises at any given time. A larger gathering would be considered a party and Santo Pietro says he typically charges 150,000 for big events on the property. In his suit, Santo Pietro says Hardin agreed to the deal but threw at least two parties anyways with more than 50 people at the house. With the damages and noise complained, Santo Pietro was cheesed. But with Hardin clearing over $228 million on his most recent contract, it's assumed he probably will be alright financially. At the turn of 2020, Hardin had made his most recent real estate purchase and this was at the mother of all purchases. The house was snagged for $10 million, comfortably nestled on more than 3.5 acres of land in Rivercrest. Memorial Modern took three years to complete and boasts more than 26,000 square feet. Complete with a grotto, wine room, casita, full bar, prep kitchen and fitness room. It's crafted from commercial grade steel with minimalist design elements. The modern living room features beautiful white tiling, floor to ceiling windows, lavish furnishings and an elegant marble fireplace. The sleek black dining room features a large rustic table, oversized window to give the room an airy and roomy ambiance and is adjacent to a wine testing cave. For those lucky enough to visit, you can relax at the exotic cocktail bar which features elegant marble countertops, cozy high tops and an abundance of beverages for those that fancy a chardonnay. The double marble island kitchen features black ceiling light fixtures that give an amber modern touch. In addition, the prep kitchen features complimenting white cabinets, stainless steel range and glossy black island drawers and appliances. The kitchen opens to the exterior grotto pool surrounded by violet covered cabanas. The innovative master bedroom features elegant hardwood flooring, a textured fireplace and access to the terrace. Hardin's ultra-modern master bathroom is a work of art that features marble flooring, vaulted wood ceilings, oversized mirrors, transparent glass and even a barber's chair. Probably the most glamorous spot in Hardin's house is the backyard that features cabanas, a beautiful saltwater pool and spa. With plenty of cozy lounging chairs, the pool features a grotto and it steps away from the outdoor wet bar. If there's one thing Hardin knows when purchasing real estate, it's homes where you can party. Would love to party at this spot. I'm just saying, Hardin, you can call me up. All right, so I think we'll bring this house toward to an end.
