Shaquille O’Neal and Michael Jordan have always been highly competitive NBA players. During their time in the NBA, they went up against each other 21 times. Jordan got the better of Shaq on the floor, winning 12 of their 21 encounters. In the playoffs, they have faced each other twice, and both players won one series against the other.

Years have passed since the two retired from basketball. Currently, the two are large business moguls, racking up millions in deals and entrepreneurship. Off the court, the two spend the money that they make in different ways.

Can flashiness be covered by quantity?

Shaq has always gone crazy with his cars. He owns 30 cars. His love for Superman is repeatedly seen with this iconic Superman logo plastered on his modified Cadillac Escalade with the Falcon wings, Range Rover, and slammed Chevy.

Shaq has bought a few iconic cars over the years. This includes Al Pacino’s Cadillac from the movie Scarface. He has also bought a stretched Lamborghini Gallardo. Its original price was 160,000 USD. But after adding 12 inches to its width, it cost Shaq 600,000 USD. It was later sold for 120,000 USD. He also owns a Polaris slingshot. It is also super-sized to fit him.

Shaq’s most recent purchase was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in 2022. It’s an SUV from Rolls-Royce that can easily fit the big man. Shaq’s most expensive purchase is his Rolls-Royce Phantom. He gifted one to his teammate LeBron James and one to Donald Trump.

But a new addition to Michael Jordan’s car collection has put him in a new category among the car collections of NBA legends.

Michael Jordan has this exotic piece to always best Shaq

Michael Jordan has amassed a net worth of 3.5 billion dollars through his time playing in the NBA and with the Jordan brand from Nike. This allows Michael to spend a pretty extreme amount of money on cars. He has a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition, a Ferrari 512 Testarossa, and even a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. But none of these come close to his most recent purchase in 2023.

Michael has gotten the goat of open-roof hypercars. It is the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster, which is worth a whopping 3.5 million dollars.

The Venom F5 has a 6.6-liter V8 engine that produces an unimaginable 1917 horsepower. It reaches an unfathomable top speed of over 270mph.

Michael Jordan also owns the 2010 Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir, a super-limited version of the Veyron. Because Bugatti only made 12 of them, Jordan paid $2.2 million for his. But recently he bought a new one, which completely shatters this price.
