Summary List Placement

Retired NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal is selling his lakeside mansion in Florida for $19.5 million.

The 31,000-square-foot house sits on nearly four acres in the exclusive, gated golf community about a 30-minute drive from Orlando.

O'Neal, who retired in 2011 after making more than $286 million over the course of his basketball career, bought the house in 1993 for a little less than $4 million, according to Realtor. He first put it on the market in 2018 for $28 million and then dropped the price to $21.9 million in 2019.

Now, it's relisted with a new brokerage, Compass Florida, where Atlas Team agents Tiffany Pantozzi, Jared Ringel, and Chris Franciosa hold the listing.

The 12-bedroom Florida home is in the exclusive Isleworth community, a 600-acre golf-club community bordering a lake that's full of grand cypress and oak trees, and lavish estates. A new website for the house touts a message for potential buyers: "Live life large, live like Shaq."

Here's a look at the mansion O'Neal is selling after 27 years.
