Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u00a0has an uncanny obsession with cars. Since his LSU days, O\u2019Neal has always been particular about his rides, often spacing them to the extreme. Once he made it to the NBA, his obsession with buying cars grew out of control. Shaq even recalled buying three luxury cars on the same day, when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers. On his way back from practice one day, the 7\u20191\u2033 dropped by his local Bentley dealership to look at their cars. In his 2011 book,\u00a0\u2018Shaq Uncut\u2019<\/em>, O\u2019Neal revealed that the showroom salesman was rude to him, as the\u00a0\u201cold white man,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0even questioned Shaq if he had the money to afford one of their cars.<\/p>\n

\"Shaquille<\/p>\n

While the salesmen\u2019s comments\u00a0infuriated the big fella, the presence of another celebrity athlete caused him to spend over half a million dollars on Bentley cars. Recalling the incident in his 2011 book, O\u2019Neal added,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I\u2019m standing there, I hear this kind of squeaky voice that sounds familiar, and there he is\u2014Mike Tyson, the boxer. He\u2019s looking at Bentley\u2019s, too. The next thing I know, Tyson has picked out two. He\u2019s buying two of these cars, so you know what I\u2019ve got to do. I\u2019ve got to buy three!.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

O\u2019Neal spent $600,000 on cars that day, a decision he\u00a0admittedly\u00a0<\/span>regrets. In his book, he even recalled being unable to\u00a0\u201cfit\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in the \u2018English automobile\u2019, and had to drop additional cash to get the seats pushed back on them. While Shaq drove his Bentleys around town, he quickly grew bored of the cars as he attempted to flash sell his\u00a0\u201cluxury\u201d<\/em>\u00a0purchases. He had to wait over a year before he could dispose of his three cars, racking up severe losses from his deal. Interestingly, this was not the first time he got into this situation.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal spent a fortune to prove a car salesman wrong once before<\/h2>\n

This wasn\u2019t the first time Shaq ended up spending a fortune in an attempt to prove a point. While speaking to\u00a0\u2018REVOLT\u2019,<\/em>\u00a0during an interview last year, O\u2019Neal explained how he once spent over a million dollars in a Roycle Royce dealership. During the interview, the former Laker explained that he had no intentions of breaking the ban but certain remarks from the showroom salesman led him down an ego purchase,<\/span><\/p>\n
