Shaq’s 31K Sq. Ft. Mega-Mansion in Florida Available for $16.5M, Down From Original $28M

Published: April 3, 2021 | By: American Luxury Staff

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s rambling, luxurious estate in the Orlando area is back on the market this spring. The property that began its run on the open market at $28 million is now priced at $16.5 million. The setting is leisurely, the house is palatial—31,000 sq. ft. with 12 bedrooms and 13 baths throughout—and the amenities include a lavish outdoor recreation area with a water park, a kitchen, and extravagant living, dining and lounging areas.

The home’s square footage amounts to a good deal of upkeep, and perhaps that is the reason why this lavish property hasn’t yet connected with a buyer. At $16.5 million, however, it represents a bargain, and a little thinking outside the box would peg it as an ideal corporate retreat and holdings trophy for a successful company.

The estate’s grounds encompass 3.94 acres—with plentiful frontage on Lake Butler—and among its specialty features are a NBA-certified, 6,000 sq. ft. indoor basketball court, a custom theater room, a recording studio, an aquarium room, a fitness studio, a walk-in safe, a lounge with a wet bar, an enclosed porch, a hardwood-paneled office, cabanas, a dock, and garage parking for 17 cars as well as outdoor parking.

Materials used to express the interiors of the house include marble and mahogany; the kitchen is large enough to support catering and the great room big enough for sizable gatherings. The owner’s suite is massive, and opens to a large private terrace overlooking the lake.

Shaq’s net worth is reportedly around $400 million.
