Well that didn’t take long. Not even six weeks after Russell Wilson agreed to a $87.6 million contract extension with the Seahawks, he bought a mansion in Bellevue.

The quarterback’s new pad, just down the way from billionaire Bill Gates, cost him $6.7 million, according to TMZ Sports.

Russell’s new house features seven bedrooms, seven baths, spans 10,740 square feet, and has its own dock on Lake Washington. TMZ reports it also comes with the standard “rich people stuff,” including a spiral staircase, movie theater, and wine cellar.

No word yet if the missus is moving in.
