The Sterns paid an undisclosed amount for the 17,037-square-foot estate in 2009, according to Broward County property records. David Stern was disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court in 2014 for misconduct. At one point, his firm handled nearly as 118,000 cases, according to published reports. Earlier this year, he was hit with a $2 million lawsuit over unpaid services from a Miami-based process service company.
Their mansion includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half-baths. The home, which is divided into two wings, also features double staircases, a rotunda ceiling and marble and Brazilian walnut floors. Amenities include a home theater, gym, gourmet kitchen, study, five fireplaces, tennis court, cabana and an infinity pool. It was completed in 2007, according to property records.
