Shaq’s kids have established a mind-blowing net worth of $11 million. Shaqir who is currently playing college basketball has established a huge NIL value for himself along with Shareef, Myles, and Taahirah’s net worths, amounting to a total of $11 million. Amira and Me’arah’s net worth is still not determined.

The discussion stemmed from Shaq’s philosophy of parenting, which he described as somewhat conservative. Shaq revealed that he would not allow his daughter to bring boys home until they had a master’s degree. This critical approach led to conversations about balancing expectations and fostering healthy relationships with their children. Shaq during the podcast says, “Don’t bring no boys to my house unless you got a masters don’t want to see them at all.

Shaq is known for his comic timing. He may have meant that this story was semi-funny. But it highlights the different parenting styles between him and Bert. His fellow comedian Kreisher, known for his outrageous stories, often talks about his close relationship with his daughters. Bert, unlike Shaq, seems to take a more relaxed approach to dating. In various interviews, he described himself as open and accepting of his daughters’ dating choices. Krischer’s approach seems to prioritize open communication and building trust with his daughter, but Shaq seems to have prioritized his daughters’ educational achievement before capturing the attention of her boyfriends. While Shaq’s stance may seem old-fashioned to some, it may stem from his desire for his daughters to be independent and successful before entering into serious relationships.

After all, Shaq and Kreischer may just want what’s best for their children. Shaq’s approach focuses on academic achievement, while Crasher prioritizes open communication and building trust. There is no one way to parent, and Shaq and Kreisher seem to be devoted fathers in their unique ways.
