It has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, resort-style pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, wine cellar, movie room and an 18-car garage by the 75ft dock. Robbie hired Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas, dubbed 'the billionaire's builder', to extend the home in Miami's desirable Coral Gables region. Plans include a 2,000 sq ft guest pavilion with the potential for a recording studio and a floating padel court, which would be the first of its kind for a US home. Manny said: 'He'll be relocating immediately to the existing home and we're going to be doing new construction.' Robbie bought it from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr Nicole Martin and husband Anthony Lopez. They purchased it in 2022 and spent two years renovating the house, which featured on the reality TV show. Coral Gables is called the 'beautiful city' and is home to another music star called Williams — Pharrell.
