Famed basketball ace Shaquille O’Neal sold his outrageously luxurious bus, and the billionaire buyer clearly doesn’t mind one ridiculous detail.
The bus was customized especially to suit the star’s needs, and it screams luxury.
From huge screens to games consoles, it has it all.
But, there’s one huge detail that you really can’t ignore.

Some celebrities have a love of all things automotive
Many of the world’s rich and famous types have a secret car obsession.
From everyday drivers to flashy supercars, the opportunities are endless.
For example, Cardi B’s car collection is louder than her verses and twice as flashy.
Plus, Will Smith owned a custom two-story motorhome costing $2.5 million, which is better than most houses.
But when it comes to celebrity car collections, one man is top of the table.
Shaquille O’Neal is the ultimate gearhead
The former basketball player has been on something of a car-selling spree of late.
In fact, his fleet of vehicles is so large that he’s selling off 10 of his custom cars after forgetting some of them existed.
And, he’s also sold off one huge vehicle, his outrageously luxurious bus.
According to Bring a Trailer, the huge offering hit a mighty $63,500 with the reserve not met after 19 bids were made.
But the trailer was apparently handled and sold by Effortless Motors, and you can see what happened at the end of the story, below.
The bus itself, though, is the epitome of luxury.
“The floor plan features a lounge area with sofas and a dining table, a DJ station with a Pioneer controller, a galley, a bathroom, and a rear bedroom,” stated the trailer listing.
“Power is from a 12.8-liter turbodiesel inline-six paired with a 12-speed automatic transmission, and the motorhome is outfitted with an Onan diesel-fueled generator, equipment bays, and automatic leveling jacks.”
But, there is one huge detail that can’t be ignored, which clearly didn’t bother the buyer.
The luxurious bus has Shaquille O’Neal’s face sprawled across it. And it’s not subtle.
Inside, the truck has a ceiling height of 8 feet to accommodate Shaq’s tall frame as well as flashy elements, such as huge flat-screen TVs.
“The truck wears a multi-tone vinyl wrap with Shaq imagery and DG Diesel Mafia graphics,” the listing continued.
The masterpiece was brought to life by Celebrity Trailers of Atlanta, Georgia, but the CarFax report does indicate some incidents that occurred to the 2008 Freightliner Columbia RV conversion.
Would someone else’s face being displayed on a new buy be off-putting for you, or would it be a slam dunk?
