Only $36,000 a month in interest? Seems low as well.

WTFBBQ, $28,600 a month in life insurance?

I guess I'll never understand how other people spend their money.

who cares? he can live how he wants and spend how he wants.

it amazes me when poeple complain about how people spend there money. the guy is not on welfare or getting any goverment support. if he wants to spend that much a month (while insane) is his business.

$15 million extra a year. Another 1.25 million a month.

I wonder why that's not on that financial statement?

He is probably Shaq the individual and Shaq the corporation and Shaq the trust.

Yes, but it's not exactly like Shaq can go out in public and not get swarmed by people.

If they had a clause in his contract to take away 50k everytime he misses a free throw he would be broke. ;)

Thats really the only thing that keeps me from getting angry when reading about how rich people spend their money.

Unfortunately a lot of it only goes from wealthy people to wealthy people. I bet that every person involved in making a Ferrari lives comfortably.

While all the items listed by the OP are crazy to me, the craziest is 10K/month on electricity? I watch a ton of TV, have two computers on all the time and my monthly bill is about $125 and I think that's expensive . . .damn . . . The thing with these multi-millionaire athletes that I don't understand is that I hope they realize they can't make 20 million a year forever. When you spend the way they're spending, damn . . .

Please remember that this is probably part of divorce proceedings, so he tries to exaggerate as much as possible so it seems like he has a lot less "net" income than he really does.

Getting angry that they are spending their money? What are they supposed to do with it? :confused:

Good I hope that money-grubbing whore doesn't get what all these heffers rediculously recieve from their significant others when they themseleves haven't worked a day in their lives.

how does him spending HIS money he earned matter to you? I can understand getting angry if it was a person on welfare and food stamps wasteing money. but someone who makes a lot blowing it however they want shouldnt matter to anyone but them.
