Default Shaq's monthly expenses.

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localne...ecol_0125.html

Shaq is currently going though a divorce and his monthly expenses were disclosed.

While the affidavit shows O'Neal makes a huge amount of money, $1.8 million in monthly salary, publicity contracts and returns on investments, his routine expenses total $875,015 - a month.

Among them: $156,116 in mortgages on three homes (including his $20 million mansion on Miami Beach's Star Island), plus $31,299 in homeowners insurance; $3,345 in phone bills; $1,610 in lawn and pool maintenance; $12,775 for food; $10,065 in electricity, $1,495 for cable TV; $5,000 in car payments (for three cars - he owns at least twice as many); $24,300 in gas; $6,730 in dry cleaning; $17,220 in clothing; $2,305 for pets and $110,505 for vacations.

Child care sets Shaq back $26,500 a month. He and Shaunie have four children, and each has a child from a previous relationship. By the way, he pays $10,000 a month in temporary child support and another 10 grand in alimony.

To his credit, the big-man-in-the-middle is doing his share in helping close the giant federal deficit. The 13-page document shows he pays $5.41 million a year in federal income tax and $217,000 in taxes in states where the Heat plays road games. Property taxes cost him $903,132.
$24,000 in gas a month. How the hell?

The Miami Heat haven't won a game in 2008. Good to see he's earning that money. :chuckles:

I saw 3 of his cars - Ferrari, Customized C class (i think) so he could fit and an Infiniti SUV(whatever the big one is). He also has a custom chopper that I saw him on.

Follow me here ...

(Hummer H2 per full tank)
The H2's tank size is 32 gallons. Gas in Miami-Dade county is $3.30 for premium. So, about $105.60 per complete fill-up.

105.60 * 23 fill-ups a month = $2,428.80 ... we'll say $2,400.

a 32 gallon tank will go about 310miles (10mpg, 40mph).

For 1 car, he's driving 7,130 miles a month. (23 fill-ups @ 31miles per tank)


Shaq spends $24,000 a month in gas. That's about 10 H2's at 71,300 miles a month.
