Actress Robin Givens' former Hollywood Hills, Calif., home is ready for a new buyer, having just hit the market for $3,495,000. The "Head of Class" star purchased the home for $520,000 in 1987-the same year she began dating boxer Mike Tyson.

They married in February 1988 after about a year of dating before finalizing their divorce in February 1989. Givens held onto the property for over a decade, eventually offloading it in April 1998 for $640,000.

The four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom abode spans 3,305 square feet. With warm natural finishes and sleek architectural details, it's a serene escape conveniently located in a peaceful hillside pocket above the Sunset Strip.

According to the listing, which is held by Neyshia Go and Nichole Shanfeld of Sotheby's International Realty, the dwelling has been "designed to embrace its surroundings" and features a calming open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings with gorgeous exposed wood beams.

Wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout the home, and there are plenty of expansive windows that flood each room with striking natural light. A handful of the windows are triangular-shaped and follow the home's angular roofline to establish an expansive, airy atmosphere.

A statement-making stone-clad fireplace serves as the heart of the home, creating an ideal space to gather between the living room and kitchen.

The kitchen is fabulously designed with custom wood cabinetry contrasted against dark countertops and fixtures that boldly add depth to the room.

An oversized island invites endless possibilities to prepare elaborate meals, present a delicious spread of provisions, or simply appreciate the vastness while sipping a morning coffee.

Steps away, sliding glass doors provide direct access to a beautiful terrace, where a private pool and raised spa make an average afternoon at home feel like a vacation. The outdoor space also includes a pergola-covered lounge and lots of room to host.

The primary suite is the perfect place to retreat at the end of a long day, with a fireplace, a massive window boasting soothing hillside views, a wood-paneled accent wall, and access to an outdoor terrace.

This bedroom also includes a sizable walk-in closet that's equipped with countless storage and organizational solutions. The en-suite bathroom is spa-inspired, with dual vanities, a peaceful walk-in shower, and a freestanding tub.

The lower level contains an incredibly versatile room that's currently used as a gym, but could also be well-suited to serve as a screening room, game room, or even an additional bedroom.

This Hollywood Hills property isn't the only home on the market with a link to the heavyweight champion.

An amenity-filled Connecticut estate-which Tyson purchased for $3 million in 1996 and sold to rapper 50 Cent for $4.1 million in 2003-is currently listed for $9.9 million.

Perched on a whopping 17.6 acres, the 51,000-square-foot home is located in Farmington, which is just about halfway between Boston and New York City.

The opulent mansion's stats are staggering. There are 21 bedrooms, 26.5 bathrooms, seven kitchens, offices, a library, and an indoor swimming pool.

Originally listed in August of 2025, the listing was briefly pulled off the market a year later before returning the next day with the same asking price.

Tyson has since moved along to the $13 million Florida megamansion he snapped up in 2025 after reportedly cashing in a $20 million paycheck from a highly publicized 2024 fight against Jake Paul.

In 2015, Tyson and wife Lakiha Spicer purchased a $2.5 million home in Henderson, Nevada, where they've resided for more than a decade.

The Mediterranean-style mansion includes six-bedrooms, six-bathrooms, spans more than 8,000 square feet, and is currently valued at nearly $4.9 million, according to Realtor.com estimates.
