NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is one of the richest retired athletes ever. The Big Diesel made a fortune from his NBA career and his smart investments. He has also had huge success in the entertainment industry with his rap songs, DJ works, movies, etc. O’Neal is one of the most proactive athletes turned entrepreneurs. And he doesn’t forget how to spend his fortune. Shaq has one of the best car collections.

And he has some mind-blowing custom cars in his collection. He even has a 1998 Ferrari 355 F1 Spider that is customized to fit the Big Aristotle.
