HIGH LIFE
DALLAS Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic is living the high life as one of the brightest stars in the NBA.
The 23-year-old has a mega $207 million contract with the Mavericks and is a three-time NBA All-Star.
Having grown up in Slovenia and working his way through the European ranks, he now lives a luxurious life in America.
Doncic admired LeBron James as a kid and moved to Spain to play for the soccer club Real Madrid in his early career.
He now plays against the NBA great and has a luxury life off to court to match him.
Doncic lives in a stunning 5,225 square foot Dallas mansion worth $2.7million.
The sleek four-bedroom home has 4.5 bathrooms, a modern fireplace, and an outdoor pool.
The smart property also boasts a four-car garage for Doncic to store his rides.
And one of those rides caused a stir on social media this week.
Doncic was seen arriving at an NBA game in an ‘apocalypse-proof’ Jeep worth $200,000.
Doncic drove a six-wheeled Apocalypse Hellfire, a heavily-modified Jeep Gladiator produced by Apocalypse Manufacturing.
The company turns the Gladiator into a three-axle, 6,250-pound beast that runs on gigantic 40-inch wheels and has an eight-foot-long rear bed with a custom roll cage.
Its 6.2-liter V8 engine delivers 500 horsepower, and a version with a supercharged Hellcat unit can bump it up to over 700 hp.
The Hellfire also has a three-part Kevlar protective coating, a quarter-inch thick steel front bumper, and 9,500-pound winch — making it “apocalypse-proof,” Carscoops jokes.
It’s not surprising some NBA fans found Doncic’s car “excessive.”
One tweeted: “Looks that thing has carbon feet prints!!”
Another said: “Feels excessive. Even for Texas.”
A third wrote: “Pulls up in a tank just to carry a bigger L back.”
And a fourth posted: “Is he going to war after the game?”
The Hellfire is a far cry from the car Doncic received for his 18th birthday, a tiny Serbian model from the 1980s that was based on the Fiat and barely rose to his waist.
