- how can he spend 23k a month on gas, unless he keeps all his cars running all the time and chips in for the lakers jet fuel.
- the maid makes a quarter million a year. she must be hot.
- i'm guessing a lot of those vacations are during heat games
- doesn't everyone pay 1500 a month on cable?

How does one spend 1500 per month on cable.

Actually when I see all those numbers I cannot for the life of me understand how one can spend that.

The clothing well maybe you can buy 6 suits a month for that. He must throw clothes away after wearing things once.

I pay $1500 a month on cable but that's because I get LeafsTV.

Alot of porn or he must have the pay per view channel on lock? I don't know, I saw that I was like yeah right how the hell can that be? Nobody is going to spend $18,000 a year on cable.

actually, his numbers are similar to my numbers.
except his are in dollars and mine are in pennies.

A newly single Shaq in South Beach...I'm sure he doesn't need porn.

if i was shaq i would never have gotten married...cause he's gonna be paying her a lot more a month that his cable/gas/maid bills combined...

That gas one really just doesn't make sense.

I think Shaq said he never wears anything more than once or twice and then gives it away.

Question: So why haven't we signed the guy who manages to fit into Shaw's hand-me-downs?

Plus he lives on Star Island. I bet his submarine isn't exactly eco-friendly.

Shaq does actually own his own Gulfstream private jet - so those fuel costs could well include jet fuel as someone joked earlier.

I'm not excusing it, but the thing with money is you learn to spend what you have. The guy still has millions upon millions locked up in real estate developments, franchises, etc - so he's planned for tomorrow for sure. With $2 mil a month in income, you can get all the custom made clothes, shoes, cars... do you think he gets ANYTHING off the rack? and still actually be spending less than you could if you were being stupid about it.

His monthly spending probably does not actually touch his principal funds (NBA salary) and could come from his investment profits or interest alone.

I wanna know how much he spends on food.

Submarine lol....you made me laugh out loud..

Shaq doesn't drive cars.
he probably drives a space shuttle.

His 90 foot stretch Hummer gets 1 mile per 4 gallons.
