When Shaquille O’Neal and his ex-wife Shaunie Henderson’s divorce was finalized in 2011, Shaq gave 3 houses to Shaunie as a settlement that was valued at $33 million approximately. The 4x NBA champion was even close to shelling out around $200 million in alimony. Last year, Shaunie moved on and married Pastor Keion Henderson.

While ‘The Diesel’ continues to live a bachelor’s life, his ex-wife Shaunie has settled down and living in a new house in Houston. The 48-year-old reality TV star gave fans a glimpse of her new residence.

The fans expressed their excitement about the popular show in the comment section. Shaunie captioned the post, “Every winning team has an ALL-STAR that is the MEDIATOR, GLAMOROUS, and WELCOMING. Are you a QUEEN of poise?”

While the house looks beautiful, it is not the only one in Shaunie’s possession. Furthermore, he also paid around $50,000 per month in alimony. The NBA icon has an estimated net worth of around $400 million. Over the years, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has splashed his well-earned money to purchase the things he desires.

Like most superstar athletes, O’Neal had multiple luxury mansions worth millions. Notably, the 4x NBA champion built a massive 76,000-square-foot house in Miami, Florida. After the divorce, Shaq found it hard to live alone on the property without his children for whom he built the house. So he sold the residence to a dentist for $11 million. Nevertheless, he avoided paying massive amounts as alimony.

Shaq could have seen his net worth reduced considerably in the divorce settlement if it wasn’t for a prenup. Notably, the Hall of Famer was close to paying around $200 million in alimony despite the prenup. O’Neal and Shaunie had a prenup in place which is valid in the state of Florida. But it would have been null and void in the state of California; where Shaunie and her children lived at the time.

However, Shaq was playing for the Miami Heat during their initial separation, and so the divorce proceedings were filed in Florida. So the prenup was valid, and it helped him not pay $200 million.
