The rich man sold his Florida mega-mansion for $11 million after five relistings. His planned $28 million price was reduced by 60%.

The big transaction caps a three-year battle with five agents to sell the house. “I was lucky No. 5,” said Benjamin Hillman of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, who closed the transaction. I assured Shaq that I would find him a buyer.

The Shaq estate, which is 31,000 square feet, overlooks Lake Butler in Isleworth, a gated golf neighbourhood outside of Orlando. A 6,000-square-foot Miami Heat-themed basketball court, 17-car showroom, cigar room, wine cellar, custom theater, safe room, recording studio, aquarium with hieroglyphics, and 95-foot-long “Shaq-apulco” pool are included.

Shaq references continue. The auto showroom has mirrored walls with a Superman emblem, and the living area has a huge mural of the former MVP driving a semi-truck.

The grand entryway has dual mahogany staircases, tray ceilings, and marble floors. The 44-foot office and cheetah-print carpeted primary suite overlook the lake.

The four-acre property features a tiki house, 700 feet of lakeshore, and a private dock. The property is equipped with 15 internal and 18 outside cameras, as well as gates and a 10-foot privacy wall.
