SHAQ'S MONTHLY FINANCIAL BUDGET EXPOSED: Baller pays $1500 per month for cable; $17,000 monthly for clothes

Shaquille O'Neal's monthly financial statement, filed as part of his divorce case in Florida, was obtained by the TV show "Extra" and posted on their Web site for all to see.

According to the filing, Shaq earns a monthly salary of $2 million and pays $1,500 each month for cable TV alone. He spends $110,000 for monthly vacations, $17,000 for clothing each month and $26,500 per month for babysitting.

After nearly five years of marriage and four children together, the Miami Heat center and his wife Shaunie filed for divorce in September. A petition filed by Shaq's lawyer stated: "The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken." It also accused Shaunie of being "secretive about her assets ... particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either [her] name alone or in other entities."

The petition requested that the court require Shaunie to give a "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)" acquired during the marriage.
