Luxury loving Jelena Jankovic builds a dream house in San Diego
World No.3 Jelena Jankovic owns a house in Miami, but is now in the process of building another one, this time in an upscale neighborhood north of San Diego.
On several occasions Jankovic mentioned how she likes to spend money. She loves expensive clothes, fast cars, as well as her 24-carat Sony Ericsson mobile phone, but now she's investing in something more valuable.
"I think it's worth it to buy, for example, houses or some type of properties where you're always going to have that money. When you buy shoes or bags, who you going to sell that to?" said the 23-year-old Serb.
Even though JJ, who has earned about four million dollars in career prize money, still hasn't seen the property, she saw the architect's plan, and is excited to build a house from her dreams.
"It's beautiful. It's on a hill and just amazing," said the tennis star. "It will take maybe a year and a half or two years to build a whole house because it will be big."
"I haven't even seen the lot, but I hear all these stories," she said. "It's amazing. It's all this, and it's like a fairytale to me to listen to it. So when I have time I will go and check it out."
Some of the amenities Jankovic is planning for her palace in a gated community: huge swimming pool, tennis court, sauna, cinema.
Well, why would JJ lag behind Maria Sharapova who has recently bought a luxurious penthouse in Israel.
BTW: Here's how Jankovic illustratively explains her shopping addition: "I'm a big spender. I like to swipe my card. I just like doing it, you know, that motion." Hahaha. I can picture her. (sources: The Star, The Earth Times; image via WTA World)
Hi Marija!
Great spot, I'm going to add it to my favs right now.
Jelena does like the stylish end of things doesn't she.
I've taken a vacation over the last week. After coming here I'm encouraged to get back on the grind!
Hehehe.
Thanks, Shelia.

This girl spends more than she earns. One day she will be bankrupt and be forced to move back into Belgrade.
Tom, your comment could be a bit untimely, just yesterday JJ won $700,000 by winning Indian Wells.
God bless jelena,i hope she'll earn everything that she wants,viva jelena.
Nice information about the concept. I want to purchase this like property its really very important news for property buyers. In most cases I recommend the large elements of a room be in neutral colors and the accessories be the colorful elements that stand out. This is for staging a home for sale – for staying has fun and makes it your own. Repeating color elements throughout makes one space flow into the next with out jarring interruption. Its importance that a home security system provides additional protection and can be a selling feature for home buyers. Being informed is one of the best things to do. Thanks for the information of this site. Nice information about the concept and thanks for adding some of your own experience and thoughts to the discussion. Thanks for Sharing.
