SHAQUILLE O’Neal has been a very successful man, on and off the court.
And not many things can reveal the true extent of the NBA legend’s extraordinary wealth more than his stunning car collection, reportedly consisting of around 30 vehicles.
O’Neal earned an estimated $286million during his illustrious 19-year NBA career, in addition to winning four championships.
But the 2000 NBA MVP’s fortune has only grown since he retired 2011 thanks to his business acumen and marketability — with Shaq’s worth believed to be in the ballpark of $400million.
The money has allowed O’Neal to invest big bucks into the contents of his garage.
There, one could find everything from a 1963 convertible Cadillac Eldorado — the one Al Pacino’s Tony Montana drove in Scarface and which looks like taken straight out of Grand Theft Auto games — to luxurious Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces.
A white $400,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom, boasting 453 horsepower generated by its 6.75-liter V12 engine, is one of the staples of the Los Angeles Lakers icon’s impressive fleet.
Shaq’s known to be a huge Rolls fan and is believed to have even gifted a similar Phantom to LeBron James for his then-Cleveland Cavaliers teammate’s 25th birthday.
It’s also not the only Rolls-Royce he owns.
O’Neal has recently treated himself to a 2020 Cullinan, a 4×4 SUV worth $330,000 and named after the largest uncut diamond ever discovered.
On a regular day, fans can probably spot Shaq driving his Ford F-650, black Jeep Wrangler, or Cadillac Escalade.
All three vehicles have been customized to accommodate the former seven-foot-one center’s size and passion for tuning — and most likely feature his Superman logo someplace.
But if he felt some need for speed, he would probably zoom around in his $190,000 Lamborghini Gallardo and, once upon a time, the now-sold Ferrari Spider with a cut-off roof and extra legroom.
Or, he would take his red Dodge Charger Hellcat for a spin, which goes 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 203 miles per hour.
O’Neal has truly made that particular Hellcat a one-of-one, adding scissor doors and having “Diesel Dog Mafia” logos painted on the vehicle’s sides and hood.
The ex-NBA superstar got himself covered also when he craves some extra freedom during the ride.
Among his open-air options are a West Coast Choppers-built El Diablo bike and a three-heeled Polaris Slingshot called the Sling-Shaq.
The roadster has been designed to fit up to four riders and has an 18-speaker sound system to entertain them all.
Love him or hate him, no one can deny O’Neal’s got game when it comes to driving with style.
He’s the Big Diesel after all.
