Kirk Cousins broke into the NFL in 2012 and played for Washington for the first 6 years of his career. Cousins was a professional athlete making millions of dollars a year, but it wasn’t until he signed with Minnesota, in 2018, that he and his family moved out of their 3,000-square-foot home in Ashburn, Virginia.

Cousins had been leasing the house from another former Washington football player, who had purchased the home for less than $300,000 in 2000. The 3-floor house with hardwood floors and gas fireplace had everything Kirk and his wife needed for their two children, so there was never any reason to look for anything else. The Cousins are, currently, using some of Kirk’s $70 million to have their dream home built from scratch on the shores of Lake Michigan.
