Shaq is a proud father of six children. The Hall of Famer never shies away from expressing his love for his kids. The former center has multiple times disclosed that seeing his children coming back home after a hard day of work made his day during his time in the NBA. He has also stated that he bought luxury mansions for his family. However, things changed after his divorce.

After O’Neal’s divorce, his children lived with their mother. This was a major blow for the 2000 NBA MVP who recently talked about the tough situation after his kids left. It was hard for him to live alone on the massive property. Shaq even said that it “killed” him.

However, Shaq might have another property where he can retreat whenever he is tired of his main 76000 square feet house. A recent video on YouTube presented a tour of his mansion in Atlanta. The clip showed some captivating things including O’Neal’s treehouse.

The property has Shaquille O’Neal written all over it with the Superman logo on multiple places including fountains and huge portraits of him.
