Oscar De La Hoya won a boxing gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics, founded Golden Boy Productions, and earned the nickname “The Golden Boy” by winning 11 world boxing titles in six weight classes. His Las Vegas home is also golden and just sold for $25 million, the highest-priced sale of the year in Las Vegas.
Oscar De La Hoya is one of the most successful and popular boxers, amateur and pro, in the history of the sport. In 1989, he won a National Golden Gloves title at age 16, won the boxing lightweight gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona just a year after graduating from East LA’s James A. Garfield High School, and founded Golden Boy Productions in 2002. His outgoing personality and 11 world boxing titles in six weight classes earned him the nickname “Golden Boy.”
Oscar has been golden outside of the ring, too. He has starred in and promoted video games and an Oscar De La Hoya clothing line. He parlayed his movie star looks into a spin as a pop star with a Platinum-certified album, Oscar De La Hoya, that sold over a million copies and earned Oscar a Grammy nomination. He was an early investor/partner with Mario Lopez in Casa México Tequila. Oscar even did a bilingual children’s book in 2006, entitled Super Oscar, with a focus on Mexican-American pride.
Oscar’s Las Vegas home is golden, too, and just sold for $25 million, the highest-priced sale of the year in Las Vegas. Located in Henderson, just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip, where he scored several of his 39 pro boxing victories, Oscar bought the 12,655-square-foot home in 2022 when it was still under construction. He was involved in the construction, customization, and decoration of the home.
The privately gated property on a cul-de-sac set in the foothills of the McCullough Mountains has everything a retired 11-time world boxing champion could want, including a gym, trophy room, golf simulator, wine room, wet bar, hair salon, butler’s kitchen, and huge sliding glass walls with city, mountain and Vegas Strip views. And, of course, the private dance club. There are a total of four bedrooms, six full baths and three half baths. The home’s exterior is a total knockout with water features that rival some of the best Las Vegas hotels, an infinity pool and lap pool, an outdoor living room and kitchen, fire lounges, spa bath, an outdoor shower, and a private garden lanai.
Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Oscar’s parents moved from Mexico to the United States before Oscar was born in 1973. A child of a longtime boxing family, including his grandfather, father, and brother, Oscar began boxing at age six, won a national Junior Olympic title at age 15, and became an Olympic gold medal champion at age 19.
Oscar’s home was listed with Kristen Routh-Silberman from Douglas Elliman.
