Shaq sells his Florida mansion – at last!
According to Mansion Global,” retired NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has finally scored a buyer on his Windermere, Florida, megamansion—one of the largest homes for sale in the Sunshine State.”
A listing for the 31,000-square-foot waterfront home, which comes with a full-sized indoor basketball court and a 17-plus car showroom, was updated Friday to say the sale was pending.
The Mediterranean-inspired contemporary home sprawls across a four-acre property within the Isleworth Golf and Country Club and has 12 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms.
Like many other parts of Florida, Orange County—where Windermere is located—saw a banner 2020, as many home buyers, spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic and record-low mortgage rates, entered the market.
The final sale price won’t be public until the home closes, but the megamansion was last asking $16.5 million, about 40% less than its original $28 million asking price.

Old Airliner Transformed into a Spectacular Home
With the chronic shortage of housing inventory, perhaps more people will follow the example of Oregon man Bruce Campbell, who purchased a retired plane for $100,000. He had a vision.
