Shaq appears to have bought his son a Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 580 in the more recent reports, and in an earlier birthday gift story he also got his son a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Jeep Wrangler.

What was bought

  • The newest coverage says Shaq’s son ended up with a Mercedes-Benz S 580, around the $130,000 range.
  • Older coverage says Shaq once gifted his son Shareef two cars for his 16th birthday: a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Jeep Wrangler.

Why people are talking about it

The story is trending because Shaq’s kids often get attention for car-related gifts, and the “put it on my dad’s tab” angle made the Mercedes story spread fast online.

So the exact answer depends on which post you saw: Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 580 is the latest one, while Lamborghini Gallardo + Jeep Wrangler is the classic birthday story.
