Yes, this is MONTHLY.

Among Shaq's most costly monthly expenditures, according to the newspaper, are, in order:

$156,116 in mortgages on three homes (including his $20 million mansion on Miami Beach's Star Island), plus $31,299 in homeowners insurance;

$110,505 for vacations;

$26,500 a month for child care;

$24,300 for gas;

$17,220 for clothing;

$12,775 for food;

$10,065 for electricity;

$10,000 for temporary child support;

$10,000 for alimony;

$6,730 for dry cleaning;

$5,000 for car payments;

$3,345 for phone bills;

$2,305 for pets;

$1,610 for lawn and pool maintenance;

$1,495 for cable TV

How do you spend that munch money on a month? Almost 1,500 dollers for cable. I can go get a dish and get all the channels for like 150 dollers a month. He must be getting all the channels from around the world. I bet theres still nothing on.

No matter how much we make we tend to live beyond our means. I wonder if Shaq fishes. The bait monkey would probably rank right up there with his dry cleaning.

Geez, I wish I could get by that cheaply.

wow how nice it would be to have money like that to spend on fishin stuff!!!!

Some of these have to be corporate or business expenses. Otherwise they fail the logic test. Take the gas bill. If it is gasoline/diesel at $3/gal he would have to burn 266 gallons of fuel a day 365 a year. Full time truckers don't burn that much fuel in tractor trailers. If it's natural gas for heating, the Superdome in New Orleans doesn't burn that much gas. I suspect these bills include most, if not all of his employees and entourage. JMHO

$17,220 a month for clothing?????

I'm still wearing the same clothes from 10 years ago....I just gotta have my Levi's.

$26,500 / month for child care?  Can he adopt me?  I'll just take half that.

Talk about high maintenance.
