How much?! Shaquille O'Neal revealed the amount he spends on shopping and other expenses
Shaquille O'Neal is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, being an Olympic champion, a world champion, and a four-time NBA titleholder. Since his retirement in 2011, O'Neal has remained in the public eye, leading an active lifestyle, partially funded by the $286 million he earned during his career. However, maintaining such a lifestyle comes at a significant cost, and Shaq recently revealed the extent of his spending.

Details: In an interview with Page Six, Shaquille disclosed that he spends a substantial amount of money on online shopping, particularly on Amazon. He estimated that his daily purchases amount to roughly $1,000, much of which is not out of necessity, but purely desire-driven. For instance, his latest Amazon purchase was laser pointers. O'Neal also humorously mentioned spending $1,000 on a pedicure, acknowledging the condition of his feet.

Quote: “I give around $1,000 because I know my feet stink, I know they’re ugly, and I like getting them painted.”
Reminder: Back in 2018, Shaq shared the story of his biggest single purchase at Walmart. When he moved from Miami to Phoenix in 2008 after joining the Phoenix Suns, he bought $70,000 worth of essentials in the middle of the night to furnish his empty apartment.
“I made the biggest purchase in Walmart history. $70,000.
I’m moving from Miami to Phoenix, and I’m the kind of guy with no patience. So, when I arrive in Phoenix, I already have an apartment, but it’s completely empty.
At two or three in the morning, I needed to buy four or five TVs, printers, laptops, sheets, towels, underwear, T-shirts.”
Shaquille is known for his extravagant spending habits, and it was recently reported that he bought a new Tesla Cybertruck because his original vehicle was in another state.
