STEVE SCHRADER: Inside the financial statement of Shaq -- $1,500 for
cable TV!

January 23, 2008

How's a guy supposed to make it on $2 million a month?

That's how much the Miami Heat's Shaquille O'Neal lists as his
earnings in a financial statement filed in his Florida divorce case --
obtained by "Extra" -- but he's also got expenses, you know.

Such as, every month he pays:

* $1,500 for cable TV (for that kind of money, he better get the Big
Ten Network).

* $110,000 for monthly vacations (when you spend as much time on the
injured list as he does ...).

* $17,000 for clothing (the dude can't buy off the rack).

* $26,500 for babysitting (even without Kobe as a teammate?).

* $23,000 at gas stations (yeah, well, who doesn't?).

And so on. Shaq's complete filing is posted at extratv.com.
