Shaq Buys $235K House 30 Miles From Mansion

Shaquille O’Neal has enough money to buy whatever he wants, including enormous mansions and a fleet of cars, so when TMZ reported recently that the b-ball star dropped almost a quarter of a million bones on a “regular” house just 30 miles away from his huge pad, people were confused.

Shaq’s mansion in Orlando boasts eleven bedrooms, thirteen baths, and its own basketball court, but apparently that wasn’t enough; it’s reported that in July, he bought a 3,900 square-foot home in Mount Dora, Florida. What has people baffled is the fact that the house is pretty tame compared to his 70,000 square-foot mansion.

Some are speculating that Shaq might be using the second home as a place to rendezvous with the ladies, but he has no comment so far.

Thats great for him.. All I have ever wanted to do is be able to buy a normal house so that my little girl could finally have a room she could call her own… Not going to happen in this life though..

More power to him!!!! He’s a single man now, so you can figure the rest out. I can’t even get one house, let alone two, in this recession!!!! If you’re not an entertainer or an athlete, you’re in BIG trouble now. When it comes to gettin’ ahead, it’s dead right now. Never seen it like this before. I’m probably payin’ more taxes than he is, quite disgusting!!!!
