Radio’s Tom Joyner sells Florida home with a boxing ring for $19 million

Radio host Tom Joyner has cashed out of Golden Beach, Fla., selling his waterfront mansion for $19 million.

Joyner, who retired in 2019 after 25 years of hosting the nationally syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Show,� paid $10.5 million for the property in 2015 and spent $7.5 million on a dramatic renovation with one goal in mind.

“I wanted it to be very easy to see the sea from most places in my house,� he told Architectural Digest in 2020.

He tore down archways to open up sight lines, brought in colorful accent pieces and added a few custom touches — most notably a boxing ring in the basement and a tub surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass in the bathroom.

The villa spans three stories on a third of an acre, scattering three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across 7,340 square feet. A sculptural staircase sweeps through the art-filled foyer, and other highlights include a gym, chef’s kitchen and living room lined with glass.

A second-story terrace overlooks the oceanfront backyard, where leafy landscaping and a louvered cabana surround a swimming pool. At the edge of the space, a grassy lawn leads straight to the beach.

Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman handled both ends of the deal.

A native of Alabama, Joyner is best known for hosting “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,� which ran from 1994-2019 and featured news, sports and R&B music. He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1998, and a decade later, he was inducted into the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.
