A Bombardier Challenger 650 was purchased by the NBa legend after he had rented private planes for a considerable amount of time. The purchase cost him $27 million.

The white private jet has a lavish interior, with cream leather seating and wood paneling.
It can accommodate 12 people and has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
In a unique, personal touch, the plane features Shaq’s Dunkman logo on the tailplane.
O’Neal has changed his tune from a 2010 interview in which he said he was unlikely to ever purchase his own private jet.
“No, I don’t think so. There’s too much maintenance,” he told Jetset magazine.
“If I own something, I like to know what is going on.
“I don’t want to get screwed in a bad deal. I’ve seen it happen to other guys.”
O’Neal, who has an estimated personal wealth of $400million, said at the time he had no desire to purchase a private plane as a means to show off his wealth to other athletes.
“Yeah, some guys do,” he added.
“But I don’t do that. I’m a man of the people.”
Some fans believe the seats in O’Neal’s plane are too small for the basketball legend, who is seven-foot-one and around 340 pounds.
“Big Shaq, you need Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with bigger seats. Plane too small for you,” one fan said.
“Too small for Shaq. Yeah needs an airbus a380,” another added.
Fellow NBa superstar Michael Jordan recently traveled to Europe on his own $61million Gulfstream private jet.

In response to the program, he stated, “I was just being greedy…” “I was in the most perfect situation right then.” She was much more wonderful than a cup, and my wife continued to be my baby mom throughout our marriage.
I am aware that I made a mistake, but I had all I needed, and I do not make excuses.
