‘If you’ve got it, flaunt it’. Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal seems to live by that particular rule. When you have a net worth of over $400 million, you don’t have to think twice before getting what you want. The Big Aristotle earned well over a whopping $280 million just from his NBA career. Then there are endorsement deals that brought him an additional estimated amount of $200 million. When you earn that much amount of money, you tend to go on an occasional shopping spree. That includes not just clothes and shoes, but also mansions, cars and other luxury items. It is no secret that Shaq had once spent $1 million in just an hour, but that is not the only crazy expenditure that Shaq had done.

His vast collection of luxury cars is a proof of the four-time NBA champion’s love for cars. However, in the most recent podcast episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq, the NBA player revealed, if given the choice, the type of car he would like to be.
Shaquille O’Neal reveals what type of car he wants to be
During a fun session of Shaquille O’Neal’s podcast, Nischelle Turner asked her co-hosts what kind of car they would want to be. Turner answered that she wanted to be a Burgundy Porsche Panamera with white leather interior. Additionally, Anthony Adams answered that he would like to be a Tesla Model X. Seemingly, the Los Angeles Lakers legend answered that he wanted to be a Rolls-Royce convertible, “I would be a Rolls-Royce convertible.” Furthermore he added that he would like to ride through Chatsworth and enjoy watching people getting astonished by the car.
There are several ridiculously expensive things that the NBA legend has bought over the years. The Diesel had once bought three Bentleys at once. According to Vanity Fair, when Shaq was still playing for the Lakers, he had gone to a Rolls-Royce dealership in Beverly Hills. He added that boxing legend, Mike Tyson was in the showroom too, buying a ‘couple of Bentleys’.
When he asked one of the salesman regarding the price of a particular car, the salesman instead asked him whether he could afford it. Shaq told that he was wearing a tank top with shorts and flip-flops at the time.
