Millionaire Shaquille O’Neal Once Accepted $500–$1000 Donations From Fans to Follow Them or More on Instagram and Twitter: Why?

In 2014, former NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal initiated a way of helping people that was quite fascinating to learn about. Not only will it benefit the people in need, but also those participating in this initiative. Shaq started crowdfunding for his video game Shaq-Fu back in 2014. With this in mind, he described the game as “Streets of Rage meets Street Fighter meets Devil May Cry”, the Indiegogo campaign website.

The game also mentions that players will be able to use everyday objects as weapons such as baseball bats and basketballs. As “the occasional basketball and filled with the wrong type of gas, bottles, knives.” In order to get people to donate, the NBA player used his persuasive skills.

As he already knew that doing this will not generate a great deal of money from the people, he came up with a creative way to convince them. In order to make this initiative more unique, he added something different. The fans were offered an array of incentives afterward. These incentives motivated Shaq fans to donate, and it worked.

What incentives did Shaquille O’Neal offer?

As this list of incentives includes many of these, if you donate $500, Shaq will follow you on Instagram. If you are interested in a higher donation, the list has other things to offer as well. Donating $600 will get you a 15-second voicemail message that’s customized just for you from Shaq.

Moreover, if you contribute even higher amounts, such as $750, you will receive a 20-second customized YouTube video message from Shaq. As we all call it, it is a “Shaq-Tube special!” . Those who donated $1,000 will also receive a follow back from Shaq on Twitter for a period of one year.
