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

Suddenly, after watching that segment I have more respect for him. He doesn't advertise crap! He knows what he's doing! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Or your ability to use the taxpayers moneys to live above where the hard working people have landed? Hey! I don't live in a trailer! Maybe we should. |

Hell, the swimming pool is bigger than my house. Maybe bigger than both of our houses put together. |

I moved here four years ago and the house is 2050 sq ft. It much too large. I don't even use two of the rooms and one of the bathrooms. But downsizing is not a decision that I get to make. lol. I mean I'd be fine with two bedrooms (need one for home office) and 1.5 baths, as long as it had a basement for exercise equipment and storage.

That land could hold 15 -20 Brazilian houses - each of which would 10 - 12 people each. I ought to know, I've only been there four times!

He probably has a custom built indoor electric cart to ride around the place in.
And for wanting a midnight snack? He's probably got someone on staff to fix one up and bring it to him. Probably sends someone out to Burger King to pick up a bag full of Whoppers and fries and a couple of milkshakes. |

Does Shaq look like someone who would indulge in midnight snacks?

What the hell do you even do in a house that big? You can only be in one room at a time! I mean, what if your bedroom was at one end of the house and the kitchen at the other, and you wanted to get a snack in the middle of the night? 3,000 square feet might be about the biggest I'd ever want my house to be. My CA house was 1,500+ square feet and it was plenty for me. |

His house is right near here in a small wealthy town called Windermere just west of Orlando.
Huge estate right on a big lake. Yes, that is one house. |

He's a mountain of a man, HUGE!
Basketball is a tough game, I respect him and think he's a gentle giant. At 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall[4] and 325 pounds (147 kg), he was one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA, where he played for six teams throughout his 19-year career. |

He's so bloody huge that I forgot he was a basketball star. I thought he was an American football player until my wife told me that he used to play basketball for the L.A. Lakers or something.
I think he's a likeable bloke, but I don't see him as an athlete.
