As a member of the jet set, SHAQUILLE O’Neal has just bought her own private jet.
The NBA legend finally purchased a Bombardier Challenger 650 for $27 million after years of renting private jets.
The luxurious cabin of the white private jet is paneled with cream-colored wood and leather seats.
Its range is four thousand nautical miles and can carry 12 passengers.
Shaq’s Dunkman logo on the tail of the plane adds a special touch and personality to the plane.
After stating in an interview that he had no plans to purchase a private plane in 2010, O’Neal changed his mind.
“Actually, I don’t believe it. To Jetset magazine he expressed his dissatisfaction with the extent of maintenance.
I prefer to be informed of the condition of my property.
For me it is important to avoid bad purchases. Other men have experienced this.
O’Neal, whose net worth is estimated at $400 million, said at the time that he was not interested in buying a private jet to flaunt his money to his fellow athletes.
“Indeed I did,” he said.
However, I do not participate in it. As a man, I belong to the people.
Some fans say O’Neal’s jet seat isn’t big enough for the 7-foot-1, approximately 340-pound basketball player.
You need a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with bigger seats, Big Shaq. Planes are nothing to you,” one fan commented.
Not big enough for Shaq. “Yes, we really need an Airbus A380,” said another.
NBA player Michael Jordan recently took his $61 million private jet to Spain.
