Shaquille O’Neal is a man with the mentality, the personality, the attitude, the humbleness which remains so rare in this world. If there were more people with his approach to life, people, society, and community, the world would be a much nicer place for each and every human to live in. But if that was the case, it would have made Shaq less special.
Shaq is known for his countless contributions to people of the society. His most recent contribution was on the YouTube show The Game Plan with Shaq.
"The mission… is to erase the invisibility of Black children in children's literature."

Shaq’s generosity, magnanimity, and benevolent persona set him apart from most of the rich people. He is always ready to make donations, do charity or randomly help someone in a random store on a random day. The important fact is he understands that for him it is giving away a random amount of money on a random day, but for the people in need, it is not just a random day but a help for the rest of their lives.
Shaquille O’Neal is ruining the image of a “Greedy Rich Person”
Dave Ramsey on The Ramsey Show on YouTube reported a few of the instances of generosity from Shaq. He was stunned by the level at which Shaq so thoughtlessly just proves to be a big man by heart as much as he is in terms of his physique. Ramsey exposed Shaq as a “greedy rich person”… in every definition of the word “sarcastically”.
Ramsey shared a story from a social media account explaining what Shaq did for the Collins family in their section of exposing “horrible, evil, greedy, rich people”. Shaq reportedly took the entire family out for dinner and baked chicken. The next day, he took them to a Mercedes Benz dealer and bought them a 15 passenger van.
After buying the car, they went out for dinner again at Rainforest Cafe. There he left a $1000 tip for one waitress at the restaurant. He noticed that the truck which they owned was old and falling apart. So “very obviously” for Shaq, he took them to a Ford dealership and bought him a new truck.
After resharing this story, Ramsey and his co-host discussed that he spent nearly $150,000.
“He has a 400 million dollar net worth, so that is like… you know it’s a very, very small percentage of his world.. He is not broke from doing it.” said Dave Ramsey.
He also said, “Evil rich people need to stop this. That’s just ridiculous, your evilness needs to stop. Shaq, you’re destroying the reputation of the evil rich people. Come on, man with that outrageous generosity, come on man…. Wow, that’s pretty cool.”
Ramsey and his co-host also discussed other instances where Shaquille O’Neal was utmost generous. After this, Ramsey called the shots on people because they talk about the rich people in a negative spirit.
