Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik has paid $63.75 million for an Aspen, Colorado, mansion in an off-market deal that closed this month, first reported The Wall Street Journal.
The seller was Texas oil heiress Christy Thompson, the daughter of late Texas oil executive J. Cleo Thompson. She and her husband, Stephen Hill, paid $51 million for the property last year, records show.

The property spans a total of 5.7 acres, including an approximately 3-acre vacant lot, records show. The roughly 15,000-square-foot mansion has high-tech features such as a system that pumps oxygen into the primary bedroom to mitigate altitude. A pair of glass elevators is positioned near a window to take advantage of the mountain views, and the house has a movie theater inspired by Hollywood’s Golden Age.

A spokesperson for Vinik and his wife, Penny Vinik, confirmed the purchase but said the couple will keep their main residence in Tampa, Florida.
