In an interview with GQ, Jefferson mentioned that he bought a house in Minnesota. The house reportedly costs around $405K. He also mentioned that the house is four minutes from the practice facility. Jefferson asked his mother for help when it came to designing the house and together they designed it for a total of $20,000.
