The $19 Million Island, Private Island Basketball Star Shaquile O’Neal

Basketball star Shaquille O’Neal first started trying to unload his house on Miami’s prestigious Star Island. O’Neal bought the home in 2004 for $19 million soon after joining the Miami Heat. The WSJ’s Private Properties column reports that the home was built in 1992 by Heat center Rony Seikaly. The home does have a certain gargantuan scale but that’s not unusual in some multimillion dollar South Florida homes.

Shaq On Star Island has eight bedrooms, an indoor basketball court, gym, steam room and sauna. The 2.5 acre grounds include a tennis court, six-car garage, dock, two-bedroom guest house and Shaq’s pool complete with Superman logo. The home is lavish but not particularly distinctive, money used to its blandest potential. The price is now $29 million. If I were to take a bet on a final selling price, I’d guess that Shaq’s going to have to cut a few more millions off this one. My guess is $23-$25 million.
