Shaquille O’Neal is one of the biggest NBA retired players in history, today Vidello Productions takes a look at 10 expensive things he owns including his L.A Mansion.
10 – Los Angeles Mansion
Recently listed for sale in November, Shaquille O’Neal hopes to unload his massive Los Angeles Mansion for around $2.5 million dollars
This 1990’s Tudor Style home has five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, covers 5,217 square feet and is located in the affluent area of Bell Canyon in the Simi Hills.
The home has a turreted entrance-way, marble foyer and formal living room with vaulted ceiling and modern fireplace.
His marble kitchen has a unique light fixture and marble counter-tops, while the on-site media room on the same level has both a wet bar and a drop-down movie theater.
Other features include a wine room, home office, dining terrace with BBQ, built in curved stone benches and a fire pit.
There is a lagoon-style swimming pool and spa with most of the bathrooms having access to Jacuzzi hot tubs when the weather outside is cold.
9 – Custom Lamborghini Gallardo
Being 7-feet 1-inches tall is a fantastic bonus for playing basketball, something it is not great for, however, is owning exotic cars as you have a tendency to have severe issues getting into them.
That was until Shaquille O’Neal got his hands on a custom stretched Lamborghini Gallardo that was made especially for him.
The car is one of his favorites and features a five-liter V10 engine capable of unleashing over 500bhp.
The side windows, doors and roof are all twelve inches longer than usual and after its top speed of 192mph, comes the 0-60 speed of just four seconds.
8 – Florida Estate
Another home in the well-kept property portfolio of Shaquille O’Neal, is this Florida estate that is currently his biggest purchase for living accommodation to-date.
Recently listed for sale, this $22 million dollar home is located in the gated-golf community of Isle-worth, which is about a 30-minute drive from Orlando.
Sitting on the edge of a lake, Shaq purchased the home in 1993 for just $4 million dollars according to one realtor.
This home has some amazing features, including its own basketball court, a 17-car showroom garage, a 95-foot swimming pool and the main home sits on 35,000 square feet of space.
Right next door, lies the 600 acre Isle-worth community golf course and the outside even has its own covered dock.
Having twelve bedrooms and an entrance fit for a king, the house also features a grand foyer with its double oak staircase, is covered in marble floors and has a dining room for 16-people.
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the master bedroom and bathroom, while the soundproof home theater can seat at least 10-people.
It’s not surprising that Shaq is selling this home as he has now made an $18 million dollar profit on this beast.
7 – Krispy Kreme Franchise’s
Among some of the more interesting things owned by Shaquille O’Neal, he has now begun investing in a doughnut empire that is fir for a king.
He currently owns one store in Atlanta but is homing to own over 100-stores by the time he has finished investing.
He has been seen handing out free doughnuts in New York’s Times Square to celebrate the doughnuts 80th birthday.
6 – Five Guys Franchise
As well as owning a Krispy Kreme store in Atlanta, Shaquille O’Neal also owned around 155-Five Guys burger chain stores, saying they have been very kind to him in his business ventures.
While admitting that he has now sold his stake in the company, he did at one point, own so many stores that his stake was made up to 10% of the company.
With the company generating more than one billion dollars in revenue each year, that’s a tidy revenue of more than $100 million dollars for Shaq, year-on-year.
He also owns several other franchises across the country including 17-Aunty Ann’s pretzel restaurants, twenty four fitness centers, 150-car washes and a shopping center.
5 – Atlanta Estate
Located south of Atlanta, Georgia, Shaquille O’Neal owns this amazing Peach State home that covers 14-acres and is thought to have cost him around $14 million dollars.
The property includes two homes, a three-stall barn and a swimming pool, while the brick layered home was built in 2008.
The home has a private office, two-story foyer, a master suite with walk-in closets, a twelve-seat home theater, a game room and its own gymnasium.
The guest-house, which is located across from the swimming pool, has access to three bedrooms, and a beautifully built sun porch.
When combined together, the homes give access to eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms and more than 7-400 square feet of space.
The entrance to the home features a large motor court, rolling trees and garden’s and a large workshop is attached to the barn.
4 – Vaydor Roadster
Costing around $11,000 dollars and advanced by the many customs that come with the car with Shaquille O’Neal’s version looking like an impressive futuristic vehicle.
The Vaydor is actually a kit car that fits into the power train of an infinity G53 with the seats, pedals and lower dash all custom built to allow him to fit in.
The roof of the infinity has been completely removed so that headroom is not a problem and the low windshield keeps the wind away from his face without issues.
3 – Extended Ferrari F355 Spyder
Believe it or not, this car was never originally meant to be a convertible, but size was a problem, a serious one, giving Shaq and his 7.1″ frame and the mid-mounted engine that did not help either.
Both the chassis and body of the car have been stretched to provide more legroom and his head and shoulders fit comfortably thanks to the removal of the roof.
The car has a special number-plate that displays SHAQ F1 and the car was found in a museum after it was discovered.
Detroit police were carrying out a fraud bust on the building when it was discovered bearing his name.
2 – Dodge Charger Hellcat Police Special & More
Not many people (apart from hardcore Shaq fans of course) will know that he was once a real sheriff’s deputy in Clayton County, Georgia.
The Shaq driving around in an original police car just seemed a bit wrong however, and the department went above and beyond to gift him his very own police department Dodge Hellcat.
Other cars in the Shaquille O’Neal collection, include a converted Mercedes Benz S550 sedan, Vanderhall Venice Three Wheel Roadster, Polaris Slingshot Three Seat and a Chevy G1500.
