The heart of the matter
Shaquille O'Neal has placed his Orlando home, located in the suburb of Windermere, on market on Thursday for 28 million dollars, according to Time's Shaina Mishkin. It was featured on an episode of "MTV Cribs."
The home consists of 12-bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, a 95-foot-long swimming pool, wine and cigar cellar, home theater, an Ancient Egypt-themed room with a triangular saltwater fish tank, a full-size wall-mounted diesel truck aquarium with a life-size photo of Shaq in the front seat, a basketball court, 17-car garage, and a master suite featuring a huge walk-in closet and Superman-themed bed.
The Superman theme shows up throughout the house, with the logo appearing on the glass in the bathroom and mirrors in the 17-car “showroom-style” garage. The home also comes with a second garage, which contains a dance studio and recording studio, in addition to car space. On the waterfront deck, a life-size Superman statue gazes out over Lake Butler.
Shaquille O'Neal is a 4 time NBA Champion with 3 Finals MVP titles, 2000 Most Valuable Player of the Year, 2 Time NBA scoring champion, 15 time NBA All-Star, 3 time NBA All-Star Game MVP, 8 times All-NBA First Team and 1993 NBA Rookie of the Year.

Author's take
It won't be of much of a surprise if Shaq gets a lot of bidders for this huge magnificent house. Buying it only for $4 million in 1933, Shaq is going to make a lot of profit out of it.
