Brazil legend Pele sells exclusive Hamptons mansion owned for 40 years for £2.2million complete with six bedrooms and outdoor pool
Three-time World Cup winner bought the property for just £120,000 in 1979 and had been trying it to sell it for five months
BRAZIL legend Pele has sold his exclusive Hamptons mansion for £2.2million having owned it for nearly 40 years.
The three-time World Cup winner, 77, bought the property for just £120,000 in 1979 but has been looking to shift it for five months.
Pele finally sold the luxurious pad for £300,000 less than originally listed (£2.5m)... but still made a cool £2.08m profit.
The Clearwater Beach retreat in Springs - in the affluent New York district - comes with six bedrooms, five bathrooms and even at outdoor pool.
The interior includes extra-high ceilings, an open floorplan and a brand new kitchen - to go with play area, office and even a media room.
Along with the outdoor pool, comes an outside shower and garage.
The stunning home sits on the equally impressive coastline, with crystal clear blue waters - a gorgeous 100-mile drive along the Long Island coastline from Manhattan.
Pele bought the incredible home two years after hanging up his football boots - where he last played for New York Cosmos.
The 92-cap, 77-goal Brazil international opted to keep a house close to NYC and bought the Hamptons pad soon after retirement.
But after 39 years, Pele has opted for a more low-maintenance housing portfolio and sold it for a cut-price £2.2m.
