Shaquille O’Neal once got so annoyed at a salesman that he spent $1.3million on buying three Rolls-Royces… that he doesn’t even drive.
Shaq is one of the most famous basketball players of all-time and his wealth reflects that – he is worth a reported $400million (£350m).
There are plenty of brilliant anecdotes about his generosity with his money, paying for people’s shopping and he even once forked out for a random guy’s engagement ring.
But don’t question if the former LA Laker can afford to buy something as that will only ‘p*** him off’.
Shaq recalled his conversation with a luxury vehicle salesperson. podcast Drink ChampsHe ended up spending a lot of money.
He said: “I don’t wanna spend $400,000 for a car. So I’m like, ‘Hey man how much is this? Nah. How much is this one?’ So finally the old guy says, ‘Yo man, you asked about all these cars, can you afford them?’
“Now I’m pissed. I said, ‘What the f*** you just said to me?’ So I buy three. I want them all to go. Move the seat back. So now I have 3 Rolls-Royces I’ve never driven. So there goes another million.”
O’Neal is definitely a fan of a Rolls Royce and even once bought LeBron James one for his 25th birthday. It’s a great gift!
