“Donald Trump to Ludacris”: Before Spending $1,000,000 On Daughter’s Birthday, Shaquille O’Neal Hosted Eccentric Parties For America’s Elite

Shaquille O’Neal is a fun-loving person and a huge party freak. Before spending over $1,000,000 on his daughter’s birthday party, the Big Diesel hosted an elite Midsummer Night’s Dream theme party. Shaq’s reputation as a party animal was well-known since his early days in the NBA. At most of his parties, one may expect some top celebrities to attend at Shaq’s invitation. As he mentioned in his book Shaq Uncut, he had a vast guestlist of A-List celebrities, with rapper Ludacris and future President of the United States Donald Trump coming in to attend.

Besides Dennis Rodman, Shaquille O’Neal loved having an eccentric nightlife and having fun. He was spotted several times at many high-profile parties, celebrating alongside multiple celebrities. Shaq seems to have not given up on this habit, as the Big Aristotle can still be partying after his DJ concerts.

Shaquille O’Neal once hosted a grand party with Ludacris and Donald Trump on the guest list

Shaquille O’Neal’s fun and outgoing personality is further exemplified by his eccentric party habits. The Diesel loved partying and making the best memories aside from his basketball career. Having made a fortune worth $400 million, it was relatively easy for him to host theme parties with some of the biggest A-List celebrities in attendance.

As Shaq described in his autobiography, he once had rapper Ludacris and soon-to-be President Donald Trump in attendance for his Midsummer Night’s Dream party. The guests were asked to dress up as Egyptians and were being flown right from Los Angeles.

“Another time we had a Midsummer Night’s Dream party. Guests had to dress like Egyptians. Everyone came—the actors, the politicians, the chief of police. We had superstars flying in from LA. Our guest list could have anyone from Donald Trump to Ludacris.” 

Days after this party, Shaq ensured his daughters celebrated their birthdays as best as possible. On Amirah’s 16th birthday, Shaq and Shaunie surprised their daughter with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, which cost a whopping $122,000 in retail.

Besides, to make this celebration count, Shaq rented the entire rooftop of the prestigious W Hotel in Hollywood to celebrate Amirah’s ‘Sweet 16.’ He had also invited rapper YG to entertain the guests with his performance. Doing all this, Shaq spent over $1,000,000 in celebrating his daughter’s birthday bash.

Shaq is one of the best sober party animals to hang out with

In contrast to his excessive partying habits, Shaquille O’Neal chooses to remain sober. Shaq does not like drinking alcohol or smoking, which is common in most high-standard parties. Instead, Shaqfu enjoys dancing and eating his heart out during such occasions.

All in all, Shaquille O’Neal loves to have fun alongside his family and friends. His upbeat and jolly personality always makes him the life of every party. Now as DJ Diesel, Shaq has become more popular than ever with the younger generation, with his high-energy performances during DJ gigs and concerts.
