Basketball Hall of Famer and TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O’Neal, who has business ties in Las Vegas, has sold the home he bought in Southern Highlands pre-pandemic and turned around and paid nearly $2 million for a private 1-acre compound near Wayne Newton’s former estate in the southeast valley, according to the listing agent’s social media post.

Listing agent Zar Zanganeh of LUXE Estates &Lifestyles announced the sale on a Facebook post July 9. That post has since been removed. Later, in a phone interview Zanganeh declined to confirm the buyer was O’Neal, despite his previous posts, congratulating O’Neal and his Realtor, Stacy Conner, the director of sports and entertainment division at Windermere Prestige Properties.
