Kareem Abdul Jabbar – Hawaii, $5.9 Million

When NBA legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar left the court for his retirement, he was definitely well prepared to spend his post-NBA career in paradise. After retiring, he became a successful writer and part-time actor. This $5.9 million home in Kauai, Hawaii, served as the athlete’s getaway abode. And boy, does it look amazing! The tropical mansion has some of the most unique and fancy features, including an exclusive passageway to the famous “Secret Beach.”

It also houses a mini waterfall in the mansion’s garden grounds, lava rock fireplaces, laid-back tropical decor, and flooring-to-ceiling glass windows that give full access to the sweeping ocean views. The tropical estate also houses a separate guest house, a swimming pool, and an orchard with several tropical produce. However, Kareem has since decided to trade his paradise getaway for a more modern property in the big city.
