Late Yankees star Bob Turley's former $16,500,000 Italian-inspired mansion ft. library concealing a full bar, hits the market

The late Yankees pitcher Bob Turley played from 1951 through 1963 and helped the Yankees win two World Series in 1956 and 1958. In the twilight of his baseball career, Turley began working as a financial planner and used to sell life insurance.

In 1977, Turley teamed up with Arthur L. Williams Jr. and five others to found A. L. Williams & Associates, which later changed to Primerica Financial Services and was sold to Citigroup in 1989. While at it, he bought and sold 27 houses in Florida.

Among those properties is one in Marco Island, Florida, which is now listed for $16.5 million on the market, per listing agency Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

Per the property records with PropertyShark Show, the luxurious abode of the late Bob Turley is owned by an LLC, which paid $10 million for this estate in 2022.

According to listing agent Cathy Rogers, "this property is truly a gem."
