NBA basketball superstar Steven Adams is believed to be turning an old trampoline park into his first Kiwi pad – complete with basketball court.

Adams, the 86th richest athlete on the planet whose $33 million annual salary makes him the country’s richest ever sportsman, is understood to have bought a site on Wellington’s Centennial Highway.

The property, on the Ngauranga Gorge, was purchased for $6.1m in March 2018 by a newly established trust – Vulcan Trustee (NZ) Limited – which was set up less than 20 days before the sale. Adams is expected to turn the property into a base for his training camps.

It’s understood workers refitting the industrial building into a base for the 2.13m star centre have signed non disclosure agreements.
