Heavyweight boxing star Anthony Joshua has built up an incredible property portfolio
Boxing heavyweight Anthony Joshua has built an impressive property empire, investing millions outside of his sporting career. The 35- year-old has amassed substantial personal wealth since turning professional in 2013 and has chosen to invest wisely.
He has channelled a significant amount of money into real estate through his company, 258 Investments, which manages his property portfolio. According to a fresh report, Joshua has spent approximately £150 million on properties over the past two years.

Here we take a look at some of his most notable acquisitions, starting with a sprawling estate in Hertfordshire. Joshua’s most expensive purchase to date is a 301,000-square-foot estate near Watford, where he grew up. The site, formerly the headquarters for oil giant BP, reportedly cost the boxer around £30m, as reported by Wales Online.
A luxury London address
In the previous year, Joshua splashed out a considerable sum to secure a property on one of London’s most exclusive streets. He reportedly shelled out around £25m for a mixed-use block on Bond Street, encompassing hospitality, retail, office and medical facilities.
The property, nestled in the exclusive Mayfair area, allows for immediate access to London’s trendiest eateries and boutiques. The property, which once belonged to Aviva, has been acquired by Joshua and his investment firm.
High-end gastropub experience
Simultaneously, Joshua added to his portfolio with the purchase of Bonds Mayfair gastropub at 12-16 Derring Street, pegged around £20 million. The 6,300-square-foot site not only accommodates office space but is also a stone’s throw from Bond Street tube station, just 100 metres away.
A north London retail space
In another spontaneous venture, Joshua secured a retail location in the vicinities of Alexandra Palace in north London, in 2022. While the exact price paid remains undisclosed, it’s believed to be in the region of £750,000.
His company hinted at the deal being an impromptu but profitable venture. On securing the lease, 258 Investments heralded the acquisition on Instagram with a snapshot of Origin Massage Therapy, captioning: “We met a friend for a coffee to discuss our property requirements and ended up securing a lease for the premises that we sat down in.”
Luxurious family residences at a premium
Joshua is also the owner of two substantial family homes in north London, collectively valued at £4m, as reported by The Sun. He has a deep connection to the area, having bought his mother’s council flat in Golders Green back in 2017.
Furthermore, the 35-year-old refined his boxing skills at the local Finchley Boxing Club during his younger years, making his investments in the region quite expected considering his strong links.
