The NBA legend’s Windermere home finally sold in October 2021 for $11 million, FOX 35 Orlando reported. Even famous houses can sometimes be hard to sell. Shaquille O’Neal’s Florida mansion shows how. Shaq had purchased the property years ago for much less money, but it took a long time to move from listing to sale.
Stockworth Realty , which represented the buyer, says that is the highest price ever recorded for a single-family home inside the gates of the Isleworth Golf & Country Club, and in all of Windermere and Orange County.
Shaq’s story also offers a lesson for anyone in sales. Whatever it is, a house, a car, or a used phone , the first price you choose matters. Going too high can cost you time, and time can cost you money. The market decides what an item is worth, not its backstory. A fancy address and a well-known name are no guarantee of a quick sale. The sale was not all bad news for O’Neal either. But the house was added to and modified over the years, so we can’t really tell how much he actually made.
He bought the home in 1993 for $3.95 million, and it sold for $11 million.
What we do know is that the sale set a local price record, according to Stockworth.
