V. Barbarino Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Shaq looking to buy home in LauderdaleStar Island not secluded enough for Heat star.By Sarah TalalayStaff WriterPosted July 8 2005Tired of the steady stream of boaters that stop by to gawk at his Star Island mansion, Heat center Shaquille O'Neal is looking to take up residence in Fort Lauderdale, sources said.In August, O'Neal spent $18.8 million for a 19,440-square-foot, eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom house at 26 Star Island Drive, which is now on the market.advertisementadvertisementSources say O'Neal is looking for a more secluded spot for his wife and five children. The Fort Lauderdale house O'Neal is believed to be eyeing is on the water but is less accessible to nosy onlookers.O'Neal's agent, Perry Rogers, did not respond to a telephone message or e-mail seeking comment. Rogers and Heat executives are negotiating a contract that could keep O'Neal, 33, with the Heat for another four or five years.Carlos Justo, of Sol Sotheby's Realty in Miami, who said he sold O'Neal the Star Island home but is not listing it now, said he received an offer of more than $25 million for it five months ago, but O'Neal was not interested in selling then.

Guest Devilicious Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 This is funny to me because his house on Star Island is SO overstated and in your face. There's a bobble head Shaq doll outside on his dock, facing the water. (I don't think you do that if you don't want attention...... )There are no trees to protect the home from gawkers. The structure is designed in a way that you could never feel as if you have any privacy, even if you aren't famous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
