After winning the Scottish Open and Open Championship in consecutive weeks, Phil Mickelson ceded about 61 percent of his earnings to Scottish, federal and California state taxes. So, paying a commission to a real-estate agent doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
In July 2013, Mickelson put his Racho Sante Fe, Calif., home back on the market again. The asking price: $6,995,000, as reported by Curbed.com. However, the house didn't sell. It's again on the market, with about another $1 million knocked off the price, now listed at $5.99 million.

Here's the description from the listing as posted on Zillow:
