Shaquille O'Neal, 35, and wife Shaunie are in the middle of divorce proceedings which they filed in September after five years of marriage.

His monthly expenses are $1.3-million a month, according to court records obtained by CBS4 news partners The Miami Herald.

At $20 million a year, O'Neal is the second-highest paid NBA player, behind only the Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett.
