It’s not a secret that Shaquille O’Neal is a very generous person who doesn’t hesitate to help other people. The Big Diesel has done so much for plenty of people, including a mother who couldn’t afford a laptop for her kid, while also buying an engagement ring for a man who didn’t have the money for it.
Shaq has even bought food for people, showing that he’s a real one whenever he can. Still, this not only happens with people struggling to get things going in life. When he’s celebrating, O’Neal likes to spend a couple of bucks on people, as he recently did.
The Inside the NBA host showed up at a Manhattan restaurant with an unknown woman and took care of everybody’s bills, spending $25,000 in a single night.

A date night over chicken satay had NBA great Shaquille O’Neal feeling generous on Sunday.
The retired basketball star, who is now a sports analyst, arrived to Chelsea hotspot Jue Lan Club with a mystery woman at around 8:30 p.m., we hear. By the end of the night, he was footing the bill for the entire eatery.
Spies told us he popped in with the unidentified woman, whom he was overheard describing as “my date,” and ordered Beijing chicken, shrimp tempura and the restaurant’s signature chicken satay. “She did all the ordering,” an insider told Page Six.
After their meal, O’Neal, 50, proceeded to buy dinner for the entire server team.
“And to top that off, he paid for everyone’s check [who was] dining at the restaurant,” the source added.
Shaq preferred to keep the announcement that he was paying for everybody’s meal until the end of the night, trying to not make a lot of noise. He seemingly had a great evening, enjoyed the company of a beautiful woman (I suppose), and brought joy to the life of many people. O’Neal is really a great person that’s constantly making others laugh while trying to create a better reality for many people. A legend on and off the court.
