Shaquille O’Neal has been given his third Tesla Cybertruck.
That possibly makes the former NBA star the person who owns the most in the world.
It’s due to the amount he travels around the US.
Rather than being a gift, however, this new EV was actually more of an exchange.

Shaquille O’Neal has Tesla Cybertruck collection
Shaquille O’Neal will soon be driving around in his third Cybertruck.
He has one in Las Vegas as well as Atlanta where he spends most of his time.
It’s said that he didn’t want to ship one Cybertruck from Nevada to Georgia.
He asked Californian luxury car dealer, Effortless Motors, to get him a Cyberbeast thanks to a social media mishap involving LeBron James.
“Don’t call me until it’s done!” he reportedly told them in August.
A fortnight later, a Tesla Cybertruck adhering to his extensive list of requests was ready.
It had a gloss black finish, rolled on 26-inch Forgiatos, and sported a somewhat intimidating widebody kit.
It was actually the first widebody Tesla Cybertruck ever made.
It boasts huge carbon fiber fender flares, extra lights in its front bumper, plus a color-shift LED strip at the front, and underglow and a stock Foundation Series interior.
Number three
Effortless Motors was also behind Shaq’s latest Tesla Cybertruck.
It’s the first to sport a Waido widebody kit – perfect considering what the iconic former sportsman did to his Lamborghini.
It comes boasting a glossy wrap in a maroon shade and rides on massive 26-inch Forgiato wheels.
The exchange came to pass after Shaq offered his Dodge Charger Hellcat to the dealer.
That meant CEO, Ahmad Abdelrahman, was looking to repay him for his generosity – so it seems he isn’t actually going back on his promise to spend less on cars.
Effortless Motors branded it ‘an absolute masterpiece’.
It’s one of just 100 examples, it sports a custom ‘Shaqcat’ license plate, huge fender flares, a rear wing, an air diffuser, and custom lights.
While we have no information on the EV’s powertrain, it’s thought to be driving on more of a Cyberbeast than a tri-motor setup.
If that’s the case, the system generates 845HP zipping from 0-97km/h (0-60mph) in just 2.6 seconds.
It also completes the quarter mile in 11 seconds at 183km/h (113.7mph).
