Saquon Barkley isn’t slowing down his Super Bowl LIX celebrations as the Philadelphia Eagles star splashes four million dollars on a new mansion, less than a week after he broke the Kansas City Chiefs‘ hearts.
The running back was part of the team that handed a brutal 40-22 beat down to Patrick Mahomes, who was sacked six times on the night as Jalen Hurts romped home both an NFL champion and a Super Bowl MVP.
Although Barkley had a quiet night at the Caesars Superdome, the 28-year-old played his part throughout the 2024/25 campaign by rushing for over 2,500 yards and 18 touchdowns and demonstrated why the Eagles front office pay him over $37m per year.
And now he’s wasting no time in splashing that cash as he completes the purchase of a new mansion in Pennsylvania, spanning 10,000-plus-square-foot, shortly after selling his previous home in New Jersey for $3.1m.
The five-acre site includes three fireplaces, a unique water filtration system and even an oasis along with an outdoor swimming pool, kitchens perfect for barbequing and a fully-equipped gym so he can keep up his strength and cardio, as per The New York Post.
Barkley reacts to Super Bowl win
Barkley kicked off his unique spin on Super Bowl celebrations live on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he presented the entire offensive line with trucks full of Bud Light beer to enjoy after their efforts throughout the campaign.
The Eagles O-Line, under Jeff Stoutland, expertly protected Hurts on the night and through the season and thus allowed Barkley to have the platform to unleash his devastating rushing game in the NFC East and beyond.
Although he was largely muted on the night by the Chiefs‘ defense, limiting him to just 57 yards on 25 carries, the RB’s presence proved an effective distraction for Steve Spagnuolo‘s boys and allowed his quarterback the platform to thrive in New Orleans.
“Oh man,” Barkley said of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. “She looks prettier in person, I’ll tell you that. It’s better in person than it is in Madden, I’ll tell you that.
“Playing as a kid. It’s everything you dream of. I’m just happy to be able to hold it, give it a kiss, and be World Champs.”
