Inside Maria Sharapova’s Lavish Life: You Won’t Believe How She Spoils Her Family

Maria Sharapova may have retired from professional tennis, but don’t think for a second that she’s just lounging around in sweatpants watching reruns. Nope—Sharapova is living large and turning the art of spoiling her family into a competitive sport of its own. And folks, if indulgence were an Olympic event, she’d win gold, silver, and platinum.

Sources close to the former tennis queen say Maria’s idea of “family time” includes private jet trips to the Maldives, personalized spa days at five-star resorts, and the occasional surprise Bentley (because apparently, Uber just isn’t luxurious enough for Mama Sharapova). And let’s not forget her father, Yuri, who recently celebrated his birthday at a “small family gathering”—which just happened to include a celebrity chef, string quartet, and a view of the Eiffel Tower. Casual.

But that’s not all. Word on the street is Maria’s also footing the bill for her cousin’s education at a “very exclusive” Swiss boarding school where lunch is served by tuxedoed waiters. When asked why she’s so generous, Maria reportedly said, “Family is everything.” Translation: if you’re related to Sharapova, congratulations—you’ve won life’s lottery.

Even her dog, Dolce, is living the high life. Instagram photos show the pup wearing designer collars that cost more than most of us make in a week. One post even showed Dolce lounging on what appears to be a custom Louis Vuitton dog bed. Yes, you read that right. A Louis Vuitton dog bed.

Critics might say she’s over the top, but Maria doesn’t care. She’s earned it—one Grand Slam, one Sugarpova gummy, and one luxury investment at a time. Whether it’s treating her mom to matching Hermès bags or flying the entire clan to a private island “just because,” Sharapova is showing the world that family love looks fabulous when funded by forehands.
