How many sports cars does O 'Neill have?

Who is the NBA star with the most cars? The answer is not hard to find, Shaq O 'Neill. This "big shark" with a income of hundreds of millions is not only born with many humorous cells, but also a car lover. He now and once owned 44 cars, including many world-famous brands. His dollar bill for buying cars totals nearly $5 million, and the annual expenses for car consumption and maintenance are staggering. In this way, it is not an exaggeration to call Aopang the king of NBA cars.

After he moved from the Lakers to the Heat in 2004, his family moved from Los Angeles to Miami. The cost of shipping cars alone was as high as nearly $45,000, enough for two American families for one year.

Aopang once proudly said, "I always worry about which car to drive before going out every day." There are so many good cars that I have to take turns driving. If I drive this car in the morning, maybe I will change it in the afternoon. "

It's no exaggeration to open O 'Neill's garage and say that this is a world-famous auto show. From the latest Hummer to the top Ford Crown; From sports Mercedes-Benz convertible CLK to Ferrari, as long as they are world-famous, they can basically be found in Aopang's garage.

Because of his strange figure, Aopang always emphasizes the words "big" and "wide" when buying a car. It's like he now has two Rolls-Royce Phantoms. "They look great! Bigness is the biggest feature of the phantom, just like me. "

Of all the cars, Aopang likes the 2006 Ford F-650 Supreme XUV best. This luxury car, which costs as much as $278,000, has a fuel consumption of 24 liters per 100 kilometers, a maximum output of 243 kW, a peak torque of1.220 N m, a wheel hub of 22.5× 1.4 and a ventilated disc brake of 20 inches. "I have never been so satisfied with a car. I have had many sports cars and off-road vehicles, but this car really excites me. " O' Neill praised.

Of course, Ao Pang's buying so many cars is related to his high salary. Since 1992 entered the NBA as the No.1 pick, O 'Neill has earned at least $340 million. These include two NBA contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars ($65.438+0.2 billion for the Lakers in seven years and $65.438+0 billion for the Heat in five years), and he is also the only player in the 60-year history of the NBA to get a contract worth 200 million dollars.

In addition, O 'Neill's "Big Mac" status has also attracted many merchants to come to the door and send him sponsorship fees. In the past 14 season, Aopang's income from business sponsorship and other visits exceeded 1 100 million dollars.

Cars are a kind of life.

O 'Neill, the "Big Mac" under the basket, moved from the warm Miami to the western desert city of Phoenix. For my aunt who likes racing on the spacious streets of Miami, there seems to be less space.

In fact, O 'Neill does not have more than 44 cars now. It is said that he only parked 12 cars in his $20 million mansion in Miami.

What can these do? Can you say O 'Neill doesn't love cars? This is obviously unreasonable.

After he divorced his wife Shannon, Shannon asked Aopang to make a list of family expenses for nearly five years, which is said to be as high as one million dollars. This is enough to show how much money Ao Pang spent on the car. If you count the millions of dollars he spent on various cars, I'm afraid that after playing in the NBA, Ao Pang only spent nearly 10 million dollars on cars.

Excuse me, which NBA player has such courage?

The number of cars owned by O 'Neill is not only second to none among NBA players, but also beyond the reach of most wealthy Americans. The attitude and love for cars of the most dominant players in NBA history can be seen.

Have you ever seen a player invest so much money in a car? Are you so keen on transforming your car into your favorite appearance and configuration, and even painting your favorite nickname "Superman" on the car? The car has been integrated with Aopang.

This shows that Aopang loves his car to the bone and regards it as a tool to vent his feelings and show off his strength.

Car love is a kind of life. "For me, the car is not the whole of life, but at least it is a part of life." O 'Neill's attitude towards cars is admirable.

Is O 'Neill's devastating "Superman" strength on the court boosted by powerful automobile power?

Join hands with Ford to build a shark car

Because of his love for cars, Aopang's favorite thing to do is to attend the launch conference of new cars or car modification conferences of well-known car manufacturers.

Since 2000, Aopang has often appeared in the new car launch conference of General Motors, and participated as the host for many times. In June 2004, the General Motors Museum opened. O 'Neill not only attended, but also signed the memorial wall of the museum.

What makes "Shark" most proud is that in 2004, he teamed up with Ford to build a new type of station wagon called "Shark SST".

The price of the station wagon is between 50,000 and 55,000 dollars. O 'Neill's name is not printed on the car, but the back of the chair, dashboard and tailgate are labeled "Shark".

This car is equipped with a customized exhaust system, smoke windows, special wheels with a diameter of 22 inches, a 580-watt sound system, 10 CD player, DVD and TV set. Satellite positioning system is optional, and the colors are only black and silver.

In order to highlight the collection value of this car, only 500 "Shark SST" cars are sold worldwide. These 500 cars will be sold by number. This car was sold by Ford dealers and listed in Los Angeles and other places in June 2004.

Ford also gave O 'Neill a "Shark SST". O 'Neill got the number 34 "Shark SST" because he wore the number 34 jersey. "I don't know if it's my favorite car. I have to line up all my cars and have a good look before I decide." O' Neill said.

It was a company called "AutoOz" that brought O 'Neill and Ford together. O 'Neill's fans can buy a Ford station wagon called "Shark SST", which is a good idea. This is the first time that an athlete's name appears on a car.

Car dealers choose O 'Neill not only because he is an NBA superstar, but also because he is a super car fan. "This is the best part of our cooperation with O 'Neill." Smith White, assistant manager of Ford Marketing Department, said.

Yao Ming gave a special gift at his wedding.

When Yao Ming got married last August, O 'Neill said that he would give Yao a special gift-a pair of shiny 24-inch wheels!

"It's cool that Yao Ming fitted his car with big shiny wheels. For a cool player like Yao Ming, I think this gift is very suitable for him. " Fat man shook his head and said.

It is not clear whether oberon gave this special gift to Yao Ming. Maybe it's a joke, but it's true that generous oberon gave a famous car when his friend got married.

At the end of June, 5438 +2005 10, my aunt's good friend Donald trapp and Miraglia Klaus got married. Trapp is a famous American rich man, the number one real estate agent in new york, the owner of Atlantic City casino and the richest playboy in America. There were more than 400 wedding guests, including Billy Chow, TV celebrities Barbara Walters, Matt Raul, Regis Fabian and former new york Mayor Randolph GuiUriani.

Aopang and trapp are good friends and have been friends for more than ten years. In the autumn of 2004, after Opon's family moved to Miami, trapp and Klaus paid a special visit to his family.

Oberon, who hadn't divorced his wife Shannon at that time, had a hard time getting what gift to give after receiving the invitation from trapp. Oberon with deep pockets certainly doesn't want people to look down on him. The gift he gave him was very expensive-a Rolls Royce! The starting price of this model of car is $325000.

At that time, Aopang, who became an instant hit at trapp's wedding, later boasted, "Boy, that wedding was really ostentation and extravagance. Of course, I am also one of the protagonists. I was constantly being chased at the scene and shook hands with everyone. Fun and tired! "

Put bulletproof armor on the stroller.

O 'Neill has not only bought 44 cars, but also likes to tailor cars according to his hobbies and requirements. For example, he asked the refitting factory to carefully paint the Superman logo on the latest Hummer. Ford Crown with top configuration was equipped with bulletproof armor and Mercedes-Benz convertible CLK by Aopang, and was converted into a sports car similar to SL55.

"One of my favorite things is to modify my car. I hope you can pay attention to the details. When they see a Rolls Royce with super alloys wheels on the street, everyone will know who is sitting in it. " The fat man said proudly.

Aopang's most proud car is the latest Hummer, which is painted with Superman logo. "Superman and Daddy Shark are my two favorite nicknames." oberon said, "It's a bit silly to draw Daddy Shark in the car, so I asked them to draw Superman."

In the summer of 2005, O 'Neill bought a Mercedes-Benz AMG SL55 sports car, and the price was as high as $654.38 +0.5 million. This car is impeccable in appearance and configuration. However, Aopang drove the car to a refit factory and asked someone to refit the trunk into the shape of a sports car, even changing the exhaust pipe. And his request, even the technical personnel of the refitting factory called it a pity.

"I like a car with full horsepower. It only takes a few seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km, just like my big bang in the basket. " The fat man said proudly.

Reward the adoptive father with a luxury car

O 'Neill's life was bitter. His father left him and his mother when he was very young. Sergeant Philip Harrison adopted him. Without Harrison's whip and stick, oberon could not be a tough guy, a man and a ruler on the basketball court.

O 'Neill has always been glad that Harrison came into his life. Without Harrison, O 'Neill might still be somewhere in New Jersey, doing a job that he is not interested in.

Oberon and Harrison became best friends. When Aopang became an NBA superstar, he began to repay Harrison's kindness. In addition to spending nearly $800,000 to buy a mansion for Harrison, he also bought two luxury cars for his adoptive father.

In 2003, O 'Neill bought a Bentley Continental AG and gave it to Harrison. At that time, the price of this car was as high as $654.38 +0.5 million. "This is the car my son gave me." Harrison proudly said this when he first drove this luxury Bentley.

The relationship between Oberon and Harrison is like a biological father and son. Every year in the playoffs, Harrison will drive the luxury car that O 'Neill gave him to watch O 'Neill's home game. "I want to cheer for my son. He is my favorite." Harrison said.
