Shaquille O’Neal is one of the richest players in NBA history. With being so rich, one will obviously buy some ridiculous things. Shaq seems to have gone a step further. From owning a three-acre house in Florida and multiple cars to a pizza joint, Shaq bought everything. But probably his most ridiculous buy might be a Custom Vaydor G35 Infiniti car where the customization costs ran up to 5 times the actual price of the car.

That is what exactly Shaq did. After hearing the craze about Vaydor, Shaq decided to get one. His car rides on air suspension that allows him over 5″ of adjustment.

The entire car was built so that it could accommodate his 7’1″ massive frame. His giant shoe size would have trouble with normal pedals, so the entire floor plan and dash were redone. There were several other features that were also added. And this entire customization cost came up to $75,000. The initial price of the car was $14,000.

So, Shaq paid more than 5 times the actual price of the car for customization. For anyone else, this would have been highly unacceptable. But for someone as rich and as huge as Shaq, it would have been nothing.
