With parents both over 6' tall, he grew to 7'2". Abdul-Jabbar likes jazz and his privacy. With an income of some $2 million a year, he had a $41.75 million home in Bel Air, CA, which burned down in 1985.
In 1976, he sued his former business manager for $55 million for mismanagement of funds. He himself was sued in February 1987 for $150,000 owed in loans and big debts.
