Annie Duke’s Old House
January 3, 2008
Professional poker player and sister of “The Professor” Howard Lederer, Annie Duke sold this 3,528 square foot house for $2,840,000. This California Spanish style Hollywood Hills home features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with a large guest house and large backyard with waterfalls & fountains. Annie bought this house for $2,850,000 back in 2005 when the real estate market was booming and now she sells it for a big loss considering all the realtor fees and capital gains. Hrmmm can you say busto?
Interesting. I thought the high-end houses were immune. I wonder why she sold it… bad run at the poker tables? But an almost $3 million dollar house for a poker player. Not bad!
Good question I’m not sure exactly. I know she has a nice sponsorship deal from UltimateBet but I don’t think she’s been running to hot at the tables lately. Her brother has a huge chunk of FullTiltPoker though, so I’m sure if she’s hurting for cash he would help her out. Must be nice
Yeah, I’ve heard of her because she’s one of the top female poker players but I don’t see her in a lot of final tables on TV. But then again, I only watch it if I happen to come across it channel surfing. Poker… now there’s a gripping watch on TV!
Don’t know much about her brother either as isn’t he usually commenting?
I heard a lot of pros play with “real money” so maybe they just aren’t televised
Easy come, easy go… I hear guys like Matusow have lost $500k online in record time sometimes so who knows what happened to her but I’ll just bet she bought it hastily and realized she could probably do a hell of a lot better with something much smaller and living in a lot of hotel penthouses.
She probably knows real estate is a real bad bet right now and she is selling before prices REALLY go down.
