Yes, that is one house.



Shaquille O' Neal's Florida mansion is on the market for $28 million and it is the most Shaq thing ever

I just heard about that on the local news last night.

Came here to post it but someone beat me to it.

That's just crazy rich! Mama is sitting with Henry today. I have a beef roast and mashed potatoes to eat.

I guess we all measure our success in a different way.

I don't remember exactly how much he paid for the place back in the 90's when he first bought it, but I think it was somewhere around half of the current asking price.

Given the amount of money he's paid in property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs over the years, whatever profit he makes won't be quite as grand as it appears on the surface.

Imagine the cost of putting a new roof on that place.

Always thought "WTF is he peddling this junk insurance company." And everything else under the sun.
I caught a segment on Real Sports on HBO, he only peddles the stuff he truly believes in.

He liked the RING security camera, so much that he invested in it..when Amazon bought it, he took home over a half a billion. I don't know, success just seems to fall in his lap I guess.

Suddenly, after watching that segment I have more respect for him. He doesn't advertise crap! He knows what he's doing!
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

Or more likely, he pays people who know what they're doing to advise him as to what he should be doing.
