NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, who is a business tycoon, owns various real estate properties. From his famous Florida mansion to owning 150 car washes, O’Neal knows his game when it comes to real estate investments. After his playing career, Shaq took into business and wanted to expand his portfolio in this field.

Shaq has really done well with his investments and has made his fortune up to $400 million. Though after gaining such a reputation and making his name known in the business space, some athletes still underestimate Shaq’s power to buy almost any property he wants.

In an episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq, Anthony “Spice” Adams had some words for Shaq. Nischelle joked about being outside Shaq and Spice Adam’s house, which reminded Shaq of his conversation with Spice.

“Hold on, Nischelle. I called him yesterday, asked him where he at. ‘Oh, I’m at my other house’. I said… no hold on. He had his other house claim out, I told him sell it to me, you know what he said? You can’t afford it big dawg. I’m like damn, ok. I was like ok big dawg…”

When Shaq revealed what Adams had said, everyone including Shaq burst into laughter. This was definitely a joke cracked by Adams when he said that Shaq couldn’t afford his house. O’Neal once owned a 31,000 square foot mansion in Florida, which he had sold for $11 million.

But, Spice Adams is no joke. His estimated net worth is around $6 million. He retired from NFL in 2013, after which he took to entertainment. Adams played himself in the TV series Ballers in 2017. In his acting career, he has hosted multiple shows as well.

Though Spice tried to make himself bigger in the picture, he very well knows Shaq’s game in acquiring properties. Adams also denied these statements, as he said, “You know these are lies, these are lies.”
