Luxurious mansion in Las Vegas

Jacobs recently sold his custom-built Las Vegas mansion, a ‘dream home,’ for $4.7 million. The house is in the Augusta Canyon neighborhood within the Southern Highlands Gold Club, just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.

It has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a movie theatre, six-car garage, private courtyard, half-basketball court, lap pool, and a covered patio with a built-in barbecue.

In January 2020, Jacobs posted on X: “Blessed just bought my pops a house,” followed by three emojis: house, crossed fingers, and hundred points.

In April 2025, the running back appeared on The Jim Rome Show. Rome said he was from Southern California and has a son who went to school in Madison, where he still lives. They also have a summer home in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Rome told Jacobs he knows a bit about the state.

After a year of Jacobs playing for Green Bay, Rome asked if he had embraced the community and life there.

Jacobs shared, “I actually like it here [supposedly Wisconsin]. I was talking to my financial advisor. He was like...you know, I bought a house out here and all those type of things.

So, he was like, ‘Man, what you thinking about doing like, when it’s over with?’ I’m like, ‘I’m probably going to keep it.’

It’s just so peaceful here. The community is so loving and caring and giving. It does get cold. But for me, I don’t too much mind cold.”

Josh Jacobs’ shocking backstory

The standout running back grew up on the north side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. His parents separated when he was 8 years old. His father, Marty, got full custody of Josh. He grew up with four siblings.

His father struggled to make ends meet, and their financial situation worsened over time. They could not afford housing, so they lived out of a car and moved from one hotel room to another.

“I normalized a lot of things growing up,” Jacobs told ESPN in 2018. “Like I never thought, ‘Damn, I’m sleeping in a car.’ In a way, ‘I feel like it’s an advantage.’ Because I grind. I wouldn’t get complacent because I never had it easy.”
