Vanity Fair recently spoke to Shaq where he revealed a time when he spend $1 million at a car dealership just to prove a point. When you have Shaq money that is one thing you can do whenever you like.

The thing is that Shaq showed up to shop, but Mike Tyson was there getting all of the attention. Then the car salesman asked Shaq if he could afford a Bentley. Just to prove a point, he dropped $1 million that day on three of them.

“I was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, and there’s a Rolls-Royce dealership in Beverly Hills. I always used to ride by it. But one day, I just went in. Mike Tyson was in there buying a couple of Bentleys. I had on some shorts and a tank top and flip-flops, and I said to the salesman, ‘Sir, how much does this one cost?’ He said, ‘Can you afford it, sonny boy?”
