Shaquille O’Neal’s 2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom Hits Bring a Trailer to Settle a Score

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is parting with a piece of his personal automotive history: a 2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom, now listed on Bring a Trailer. The luxury sedan, finished in black over black leather, shows just over 9,000 miles and is offered with a clean Carfax report and a clean Texas title. O’Neal, who stands 7-foot-1, famously bought the Phantom to prove he could fit comfortably in a Rolls-Royce—a feat many doubted given his size. The car remains unmodified, retaining its factory specifications, including the 6.75-liter V12 engine and rear-hinged coach doors. This sale offers collectors a rare chance to own a celebrity-owned flagship Rolls-Royce with a story rooted in personal vindication. For fans of Shaq or ultra-luxury motoring, the auction is a reminder that even the biggest stars sometimes buy a car just to make a point.
