Shaq’s Personal Spending Habits Obtained My Media
January 24th, 2008
This has not been a good year for Shaquille O’Neal. He can’t play basketball due to an injury, and news of his personal spending habits have leaked out via the media. Apparently, this document was part of his and wife Shaunie’s divorce file.
Check it out:
Shaq makes $1.8 million in monthly salary! His routine expenses total $875,000 - A MONTH.
$156,116 in mortgages on three homes
$31,299 in homeowners insurance
$3,345 in phone bills
$1,610 in lawn and pool maintenance
$12,775 in food
$1,495 in cable TV
$24,300 in gas
$6,730 in dry cleaning
$17,220 in clothing
$2,305 for pets
$110,505 in vacations
$26,500 for childcare
To his credit, Shaq is doing his share in helping close the giant federal budget deficit. The affidavit shows he pays nearly $6 million a year in federal income tax and $217,000 in taxes in states where the Heat play away games. Property taxes sets him back about $850,000.
In his financial affidavit, Shaq was a bit secretive, leaving large portions of the filing blank. He didn’t reveal his net worth.
Shaunie did, estimating she weighs $30 million, including their real estate properties.
