HOT TOPIC
Everything about Shaquille O'Neal is big -- including the size of his bills.

Because he has filed for divorce from his wife, Shaunie, O'Neal was required to submit a financial document detailing his expenses. We don't want to suggest O'Neal spends a bit lavishly, but let's just say you could buy a pretty nice mid-sized car for what he doles out on clothing each month.

The affidavit, according to the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post, shows O'Neal's expenses total $875,015 per month. Of course, he can afford it with a monthly income of $1.8 million.

Among the highlights: O'Neal spends $156,116 in mortgages (on three homes), $110,505 on vacations, $31,299 in homeowners insurance, $26,500 in child care, $24,300 in gas, $17,220 on clothes, $12,775 for food, $10,065 on electricity, $6,730 in dry cleaning, $5,000 in car payments, $3,345 in phone bills, $2,305 for pets and $1,495 for cable TV.

At least O'Neal is giving back to his country. The document also showed he pays $5.41 million per year in federal income tax.

You could get an even better car with the amount O'Neal has earned per win this season. The Heat entered the weekend with just eight wins -- or $22,500 per victory for Shaq.

Not to mention the 1500 on cable. Can't you get the top of the line package with every channel for like 100 bucks? He must buy a lot of PPV.

26k for maid service? jesus christ...for his houses he could hire maybe a coupleof maids for each house and would be 12k at most...unless he likes pampering the maids with higher end salaries
