Justin Verlander recently signed a two year, $86 million contract with the New York Mets with an option for a third year at $35 million.
Tack that on to the $300 million he has already earned playing baseball, plus his wife Kate Upton kicking in her measly $20 million in net worth, and he can pretty much go anywhere he wants in the world.
This week, that would be a $450,000 per week, 12,000-square-foot villa in St. Barth called Villa Embrace.
According to Page Six, Villa Embrace is carved into a mountainside on the island capital of Gustavia, overlooking the harbor.
The place comes with two infinity pools—one of which, at 100 feet, is among the largest on St. Barth and an outdoor massage area, according to The Robb Report.
Keeping on top of routines also comes with ease at Villa Embrace (essential considering the seven-night minimum stay) because there’s Technogym equipment on hand and a study with a nutwood and leather Knoll desk. A butler and a round-the-clock chef whipping up meals to match wines from the abundantly stocked cellar (it’s also possible to orchestrate private dinners on any of St. Barth’s beaches) are part of the luxe hotel-style offerings, too.
Just look at this freaking place…
Quite the location to celebrate five years of marriage as Kate Upton, 30, and Justin Verlander, 39, had their fifth wedding anniversary in November (view pics of the couple living it up there here) – the same month the star pitcher won his second* World Series with the Houston Astros.
“5 years down… forever to go! Life with you never gets old,” Upton wrote on Instagram last month.
Verlander did not post any pics of the couple on their big day.
He did share this photo, the last time he posted one of Kate, from the All-Star Game in July though.
Baseball fans have been having a lot of fun commenting on Upton and Verlander’s extravagant vacation spending.
Lord, People waste money.. I rather go somewhere way cheaper and still think im in paradise

“It’ll take me 9 years to pay for that 1 week. And I can’t spend a dime for that 9 years,” someone else commented.
Cheaper than staying on Disney property.
