Following his trade from the Miami Heat to the Phoenix Suns, Shaquille O'Neal made history by executing what is widely considered the largest single purchase ever recorded at a Walmart retail store. Because he arrived in a new city with an empty apartment, he purchased a massive quantity of household essentials, including televisions, computers, printers, bedding, towels, pots, pans, underwear, socks, and furniture to completely furnish his new home all at once. The multi-thousand-dollar transaction triggered an automated fraud alert from American Express, who flagged the card assuming it had been stolen until O'Neal personally confirmed the eccentric shopping spree.
