by Alison Agudo
What do you get when you combine the wife of an Emmy-Award-winning sportscaster, NFL star, and NBC sports personality with Jupiter, Florida’s beautiful Bear’s Club Drive, a signature Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course? You get a $4.95 million sale.
Sale Johnson is the wife of former NFL star Ahmad Rashad and she just purchased a 7,000-square-foot home located on 2 acres overlooking the 11th green of the Bear’s Club gold course in Jupiter, Florida.
The home was originally listed for $6.995 million, but Johnson signed on the deal for $4.95 million, acquiring the five-bedroom home which features a guest house that has been described as an “Italianate estate with every conceivable luxury appointment.”
Johnson purchased the home from the Lefferdink family who bought the lot for just $1.15 million in 2001 from The Bear’s Club Development Company.
Johnson is the former wife of the Johnson & Johnson heir and New York Jets owner, Robert Wood “Woody” Johnson IV. She married Rashad in 2007 in a ceremony at New York’s La Grenouille which stars such as Martha Stewart, Donald Trump, and Princess Yasmin Aga Khan attended.
