Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal has built himself a huge business empire after retiring from the game of basketball. Thanks to his business ventures and other income sources, Shaq has amassed a staggering net worth of around $600 million. Despite having such a huge amount of money in the bank, the Hall of Famer apparently has still some catching up to do when it comes to some of celebrities he looks up to. One of them is Dr. Dre. The veteran rapper is one of the biggest names when it comes to Hip-Hop and is also associated with a popular music system brand.

In the latest episode of his podcast, Shaq and the rest of the crew discussed some of their favorite albums. During the conversation, Spice Adams brought up visiting Dr. Dre’s house and witnessing some pretty mind-blowing things there. This, in turn, managed to make Shaq incredibly jealous of the Hip-Hop legend’s massive empire.

While talking about Dr. Dre, co-host Nichelle Turner revealed that Creed III director Michael B. Jordan premiered the movie at Dr. Dre’s house in his personal theatre. This got Turner thinking about Dr. Dre’s home theatre to which Shaq responded almost instantaneously. Shaq said, The man just got what, eight hundred million? I’m sure he got a real theatre in his house.”

Following this conversation, Spice Adams revealed what Dre’s crib looks like. The NFL legend asserted that the hip-hop legend’s house looks more like a mall rather than a house, “It’s like an outdoor mall, dawg. He got a pond. He got a bridge that you walk over like a pond, like a waterfall. It’s unbelievable, man.

Shaq couldn’t contain his excitement after hearing the details. He added, I’m jealous“. Adams then went on to describe how Dr. Dre’s house had like insane layers of security and you had to climb like mountains to get there.
