LSU HC Kim Mulkey's magnificent $1.6 million mansion is a jewel in Southdown's esteemed neighborhood

After spending 21 seasons with the Baylor Bears, Kim Mulkey was hired by the LSU Lady Tigers in 2021. The four-time NCAAW winning coach made her way to Baton Rouge and purchased a lavish $1.6 million mansion in Southdowns.

As per The Advocate, the house was designed by Kenneth Brown and sold by Matthew Bruno. The details of the house appealed to Mulkey, who initially found the home to be a tad bit expensive.

“I told him, ‘If I would have known all that, I wouldn’t have come to you because you’re going to be expensive,'” she said after learning that Kenneth Brown deals with celebrity clients.

The property of 4,400-square-foot features four bedrooms and five baths. Surrounded by trees, the house has attractive amenities like reclaimed Cypress walls, a library with a floor to ceiling book shelf, a kitchen with modern appliances, a large home gym, and floor made of Russian Oak wood.

The esteemed neighborhood also played a factor in Mulkey bagging the property.

“It’s in a very quiet, established neighborhood,” she said. “That appealed to me, along with the distance to LSU.”

Kim Mulkey became one of the highest-paid WBB coaches in history

Kim Mulkey was rewarded for her efforts as the Lady Tigers' head coach, leading the team to a national championship win and other several victories throughout her time with them. It was reported by Southern Living in 2023 that she signed a 10-year, $36 million contract extension. She became the highest-paid coach in women's basketball history.

As per The Advocate, Mulkey will earn $400,000 in base salary and $2.75 million in supplemental income for a total of $3.15 million in the first year of the new deal. Her previous contract ensured her annual salary of $2.5 million.

LSU athletics expected that the increased ticket revenue would help cover the head coach's $1 million raise, as per The Advocate.

Kim Mulkey led Baylor to three national championship wins and won her fourth NCAAW championship title with the Tigers in 2023.
