Shaquille O’Neal Drinks Pure Unleaded

By Spencer Hall
The divorce proceedings from Shaquille O’Neal’s split with his wife are as big and interesting as the man himself. Extra got a hold of the affidavit, and it’s just as awesome as you might expect someone who makes 20 mil a year in salary alone.
The expenses of note include:
--$22,000 a month for maid service
--$17,000/month for clothes
--$23,000 of gasoline monthly.
Past Deadline marvels in particular at the $1,500 cable bill, but I can see racking that up by putting a zillion HD televisions all over your house and getting the max package on everything.
The gasoline bill did intrigue me, but there’s a plausible explanation for how one person can consume $23,000 of gas in a month: by drinking it. He does call himself the “Diesel,” and you’d have to be guzzling gasoline to keep the kind of pace Shaq does. After all, he can appear magically as a genie anywhere in the world and rap not just in English, but in Spanish, too.
