Splurging $27,000,000 Only to Break Free From ‘Confining’ Struggles, Shaquille O’Neal Lets In on Jetsetting Routine

Ever wonder what celebrities do on their luxurious private jets? Shaquille O’Neal let fans in on his in-flight routine. It’s larger-than-life exactly like he is. Now past his days of sitting cramped in commercial flights, Shaq has earned the ultimate legroom with his $400 million net worth. He revealed that he has the luxury of work and relaxation during the travels.

There’s no rest for Big Diesel with his busy schedule. But as he told GQ, he has fancy travel accommodations that make it easy to lay back and enjoy his travels.

Shaquille O’Neal is laid back in the skies

Globetrotting adventurer, Shaquille O’Neal revealed his travel stories and preferences to GQ recently. Frequent flyers already find tight cabin spaces cramped. Traveling as a 7-foot giant is unimaginable. But Shaq painted a painful picture.

He solved his agony by skipping the hassles of commercial flights and renting private jets. With his growing list of parallel careers and international travels, Big Diesel made a huge upgrade. He’s now the owner of a luxurious private jet fit for him and his entourage.

When asked what he did on the “Shaq plane,” his answer was surprisingly lowkey. “I have a couch, so I definitely take a nap, get my rest on. Other than that? Business. Or I’ll sit up there and make beats. Whatever I feel like doing.”

O’Neal added a second private jet to his collection this year. The Bombardier Challenger 650 comes with a $27 million price tag. It probably made it convenient for DJ Diesel’s summer tour between music festivals.

Among its exquisite features, Shaq’s Challenger with the Dunkman logo comes with cream leather seating and wood paneling. It can accommodate up to a dozen people which means Big Aristotle’s entourage is traveling in luxury too.

Mile-High Shaq is busy too

When he was a student at LSU flying home in Texas, Shaq made friends with airline staff. He’d show up early so his airline friends would let him have his pick of the seats and he’d naturally take the extra legroom of the front row. No such trouble on his private jet.

O’Neal can travel on his schedule and bring his entourage along. His fitness trainer, Roc Shabazz is among the frequent flyers and he gave a glimpse of Shaq lazing in his expensive plane. Some of Shaq’s in-flight social media posts also show him having fun with his friends.
