Shaq looking to buy home in Lauderdale

Star Island not secluded enough for Heat star.

Tired 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.

Sources 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.

His house here in Orlando aka Windermere is about 3 times the size of that on the water as well...but his spaniard blue roof clay tiles look pretty ugly in my opinion.

Im writing the insurance on his new home in Ft Laud.

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.
