Cash breaks up the sacred union of baller and wife

Things aren't always what they seem. Miami Heat star Shaquille O'Neal has filed for divorce from his wife of five years, Shaunie O'Neal, his attorney said Tuesday night.

The cause was reportedly money, the Miami Herald reports. Shaunie O'Neal, who had access to Shaquille's money, is being required to provide "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities."

The athlete made $20 million annually, not including various endorsement deals. News of the divorce was posted on the Miami Herald website Tuesday night. The couple has six children, four together. Together they shared a $32 million home in Miami.

I mean really people does it matter that they are getting a divorce. I mean can people have any privacy. There are so many other things going on in this world that people can think about or even do something about. If he was'nt a ball player would you even care.

I think they should try to work it out if it is just about money. You can not take money with you when you die. I believe if they still love each other they can get past the money thing.
