About
Phil Collins rose to fame as the drummer and lead singer of the rock band Genesis before launching a hugely successful solo career with chart-topping albums and singles in the 1980s and 1990s. He purchased a historic Mediterranean Revival mansion at 5800 North Bay Road in Miami Beach in 2015 for $33 million, a property previously owned by Jennifer Lopez, drawn by its Biscayne Bay views and luxurious features including a pool, koi pond, and dock. The nearly 100-year-old estate became his primary South Florida residence amid personal challenges, including a legal dispute with his ex-wife Orianne Bates. In 2021, he sold the mansion for $39.25 million to billionaire Orlando Bravo, marking the end of his direct Miami connection. Collins no longer maintains a current role or presence in Miami or South Florida.
