Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has six children. While four of them are making a name in school and college basketball, two others have branched out to other fields. Myles O’Neal is a TV personality and DJ. Whereas Shaq’s oldest daughter, Taahirah O’Neal is a college graduate and works in a $249.03 billion worth company.  

Born in 1996 to Shaq and his then-girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh, Taahirah O’Neal is 26 years old. Via Shaq’s TNT show and social media, one can infer that the father-daughter duo are closely knit and spend time with each other. But there is more to Taahirah than just being Shaq’s daughter.

Taahirah has also worked as a part-time social media assistant at Shaq’s Mine O Mine company. Much like her father, Taahirah’s colleagues recognize her to be a motivational leader. 

She has also been noted to have done quite a few charity-related works. She works actively with her father’s foundations, the Shaquille O’Neal foundation, and Shaq-a-clause. 

In January 2022, Taahirah bought her first house. She made the announcement on her Instagram page. The post included pictures of the house and a video of young Shaq in a Lakers jersey saying, “Her name is Taahirah O’Neal.” Taahirah has built a successful career of her own and is now a bona fide millionaire.
