Shaquille O’Neal, a legendary player for the Lakers and a four-time NBA champion, is known for his extravagant spending habits. One memorable story involves him going to Walmart after being traded from the Miami Heat to the Phoenix Suns and spending $70,000 at 2 AM.
Another instance of his spending spree occurred when he spent $1 million in just 30 minutes, purchasing three Mercedes vehicles for $150,000 each, along with some jewelry. He even forgot that he had bought two limited-edition Cadillac Escalade IQs, specially customized with expanded seating.
Shaquille O’Neal forgets he bought a car
Effortless Motors, a celebrity auto agency, manages Shaq’s vehicle acquisitions. In July, he added a wide-body Tesla Cyberbeast to his impressive collection after seeing a viral video in which LeBron James joked about them selling him a car. LeBron was upset and declined the purchase.
Later, in November, Effortless Motors delivered a one-of-a-kind, fully customized Mercedes Sprinter van to Shaq. Since then, the brand and the basketball legend have continued to make successful deals. For Shaq’s birthday, they even gifted him a 2025 Chevy truck.
However, one vehicle that he forgot about was his Cadillac Escalade IQ, which cost a total of $150,000 and features 26-inch Travis Scott Forgiatos. Shaq acquired this SUV earlier this year, but it seems it wasn’t enough to satisfy his tastes.
In the end, he agreed to accept the car on one condition: it needed to provide enough space for the 7’1″ NBA legend. He even gave a shout-out to his friends at Effortless Motors and included Wemby in the conversation. Can you imagine one of these towering players driving the same car you do?
