Receiving your phone bill is never a fun time of the month, especially if you have other expenses to deal with as most of us do.

But for self-proclaimed "tech geek" Shaquille O'Neal, whose net worth is listed at $350 million, phone bills aren't anything to worry about.

O'Neal has a long history of investing in technology, but it's still hard to imagine how anyone could rake up a bill of $1,000 per week in apps alone.

"Last week I bought like 20 'Deer Hunter' games," said O'Neal in his interview with the Wall Street Journal. "I like hunting the deer on my phone. When I'm not working, I spend all of my money on apps."

Perhaps Karl Malone, who is still the proud user of a flip phone, could learn a thing or two about smartphones from Shaq.
