Shaquille O’Neal has sold his lakefront mega mansion in Florida for $11 million – and it comes complete with luxury additions including an aquarium room, a super-size 15-foot round bed and a full-scale indoor basketball court.
The NBA star, 49, purchased the 12-bedroom property in Isleworth, Lake Butler, in 1993 for $3.95 million – but has since made some incredible custom changes.
Located in a gated golf community near Disney World Orlando, the huge home is 31,000 square feet and spread across three acres.
It includes 12 bedrooms, 15 baths, and a chef’s kitchen with Viking, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.
