With the Raiders heading into their second season in Las Vegas, it probably makes sense for owner Mark Davis to build a permanent residence in Nevada. That’s the kind of thing you’d expect from someone with a $500 million net worth, at least.
But man, Davis is really diving into the Raiders theme with the design for his new home in Henderson, Nev.
A photo rendering of the soon-to-be-built $14 million, 15,000-square-foot home hit Twitter on Wednesday. It showed an ultramodern house decked out in glossy silver and black — similar to what we’ve seen with the Raiders’ futuristic Allegiant Stadium and Raiders Headquarters.
Raiders owner Mark Davis’ home set to be constructed in Henderson to have a Silver & Black feel to it. Plans call for the 15,000 sqft home to include a 5,422 sqft garage. It’s listed valuation is $14 million.

Again, it’s located in Henderson. That’s a lot of black for 100-plus-degree summer days. It’s also Mark Davis we’re talking about — the guy who uses a 2003 Nokia phone and drives a minivan hundreds of miles for the same haircut he’s had for decades.
Him with *that* house doesn’t add up. No wonder fans had jokes.
This was how Twitter reacted
After years of alleging that Mark Davis was the kind of person who would “build a black house in the desert” he finally did it. Be sure to wear shoes by the pool. https://t.co/DzRPLWePwS

If Mark Davis is secretly a comic book villain – using the hair cut to throw us off – he now isn’t doing much to disguise his true identity. https://t.co/GiO21Qloaw

The architect is unknown as of present but rumors are that a shadowy financial figure known only as @quantian1 is behind the compound's design…. https://t.co/PkM95IhCzM

I can only imagine how everyone will react to the final product.
