NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is a born winner. He has tasted success in almost every field he has been involved in. This includes basketball and various other ventures. O’Neal has 4 NBA titles to his name alongside a host of other accolades.

Moreover, he has a huge net worth thanks to some smart investments. If this is not enough, he is a household name thanks to his media presence and his association with ‘Inside the NBA.’

One of his biggest investments is Papa John’s. Shaq joined the food chain as a board member in March 2019. He immediately assumed the charge despite the company facing fire due to some comments from the founder.

However, it seems Shaq was not taking his position and responsibilities seriously. He regularly missed the company board meetings. According to reports, in 2020 a vote was put out to fire Shaq from the company.

The report said, “A vote against Shaquille O’Neal is warranted for failing to attend at least 75 percent of his total board meetings held during the fiscal year under review without an acceptable reason for the absences.”

Shaq continued as a board member of the company despite being under heavy pressure. Surprisingly, the food chain collaborated with him to develop the fan-favorite Shaq-a-Roni pizza, which has extra-large slices.
