IT's nice... I have no idea why it's worth $12.5 million though. You can get a house in Malibu for that, and be on the ocean instead of some fishing pond in Texas 100's of miles away from anything resembling civilization.

Some people prefer ponds/lakes over oceans and the serenity of the country over big towns. I do.

He made all that money and he could not play tennis, all he used to do is hit the ball so hard which forced great skillful tennis players to just try and pick his serves. There was no tennis playing at all, he should have opted for baseball.
