Shaq is a BIG man, with a BIG budget.

Shaquille O’Neal, future Hall-of-Famer, NBA Championship winner, and current Miami Heat basketball player, reportedly routinely spends $875,015 per month.

He can afford it, since he is in the third year of a 5-year, $100 million contract, but, clearly he’s a big spender!

Shaq’s Most Costly Monthly Expenditures

• $156,116 in mortgages on three homes (including his $20 million mansion on Miami Beach’s Star Island), plus $31,299 in homeowners insurance;
• $110,505 for vacations;
• $26,500 a month for child care;

Wow. Think about how many high definition cable packages are being bought to provide his TVs with tons of “quality” programming on a daily basis in his 3 houses?

$24,300 for GAS alone? I hope they are counting boats or planes, because otherwise Shaq is either a) driving a vehicle that gets “gallons to the mile” or b) drives a tank

Those aren’t the only expenditures Shaq has, check out how much he pays in taxes:

But lest you think the Diesel is only out for himself and spending too recklessly, he also donates to the government, in the form of $5.41 million in federal income taxes, and over $900,000 in property taxes.
