During his playing career, he made an astounding $292 million from his NBA contracts and an estimated $200 million from endorsements. Shaq’s riches today go beyond his basketball salary. He also lives an expensive lifestyle, including traveling in private jets, displaying his affluent way of life. But how often do you see a stumped Shaq? Here is one such instance.

Even though he doesn’t own a jet, Shaquille O’Neal definitely knows when to appreciate a good one when he sees it. That was the case with the Boeing 747, owned by the Saudi Arabian Prince, Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud. It is one of the most exceptional private aircraft ever produced. Also, the most expensive one. The Prince customized the interior of the jet to suit his needs. While the original model of the jet accommodates 400 seats, the Prince customized reduced the number to better suit the royal family’s needs.

As a result, the aircraft’s base price of roughly $150 million catapulted by an extra $300 million, bringing the total cost to almost $450 million. This beauty was bound to sweep many off their feet, including Shaquille O’Neal, who often flies in elite rides himself.
