Shaquille O’Neal is one such personality, who not only was a superstar during his playing days but also excelled in his post-retirement career. The Los Angeles Lakers legend has invested in multiple areas and has built an empire. Talking about his business, Shaq’s one of the most important business is the fast-food chain Big Chicken, owning 150 Big Chicken restaurants across the country. Despite this, he once ditched his own brand for a competing fast-food chain. Interestingly, the fast food Shaq preferred over his own was recently endorsed by his 26-year-old son.

The 7’1″ Hall of Famer has always been open about his love for food and snacking. Big Diesel invested in Big Chicken apparently because he believed in the product. But now fans are wondering if he loved the food as well.

The four-time champion has stated that he only invests in a brand if he thinks it has the potential to help many. He also noted that he learned this strategy from billionaire Jeff Bezos. While this has led to a monumental rise for Big Chicken since Shaq opened it up in 2018, fans have recently been wondering if it’s all business. After all, it seems that Diesel doesn’t love his food more than the burgers served by one of his competitors.

Susie Bulloch of Hey Grill, Hey recently talked about working with O’Neal. That’s when she revealed the Hall of Famer’s eating habits in between takes, particularly his unfaithful snacking.

Notably, the 2000 NBA MVP was recently seen downing multiple In-N-Out cheeseburgers in one go. Bulloch revealed, “I watched him eat more In-N-Out cheeseburgers in a five-minute period than I thought any human could eat.”

Shaq had no problem enjoying In-N-Out cheeseburgers even though he owns 150 Big Chicken outlets. Perhaps he believes in sampling his competitor’s products constantly to keep improving. Interestingly, it looks like his son, Myles O’Neal, is also a fan of the $3 billion worth brand as well.

Myles recently took to Instagram and shared an image of In-N-Out’s menu.

Shaquille O’Neal is a father of six children. While four of his kids pursued basketball, Myles O’Neal pursued music.

The father-son duo had worked together on multiple occasions and took center stage during Alexander Volkanovski’s celebration after a major win recently. Myles’ In-N-Out shoutout was after the father-son duo performed for a sold-out crowd in Dubrovnik, Croatia, during a DJ event.

Furthermore, he is also popular in the world of fashion and has already worked with some major brands with his designs. This has helped the 26-year-old already become a millionaire. It seems that the Shaq knack for making money doesn’t skip generations.
