Shaquille O’Neal Once Splashed $1 Million Just Because His Ego Was Hurt After Mike Tyson Bought 2 Rolls Royce Beauties

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball. Shaq was a rare mixture of size and physicality. People of his height usually don’t have the physicality Shaq had. But Shaq was a man mountain because of the muscle he had along with his height. Rarely was there a person who could go toe to toe with prime Shaq.

Shaq was a very popular athlete. He signed huge endorsement deals and made smart business investments. He started working as an analyst on Inside the NBA after his retirement.

Shaq has also launched a podcast where he talks about anything and everything. There are two co-hosts along with Shaq. The name of his podcast is “The Big Podcast with Shaq”. Recently, during the latest episode of his podcast, Shaq talked about one incident, where he spent more than $1 million dollars because his ego was hurt.

But compared to other athletes, retired and still playing like LeBron James, his net worth is still small.

Magic Johnson’s net worth is more than $600 million dollars, while LeBron recently became a billionaire. But it is Michael Jordan who wins the race. His net worth is more than $2 billion dollars. Hence Shaq has still some catching up to do if he wants to be a billionaire someday.

But when seeing other feats which Shaq has achieved, it won’t be a surprise for us when Shaq becomes a billionaire.
