Brock Lesnar was billed ‘The Next Big Thing’ in WWE during his first run. He had a promising career in WWE, but he left in 2004 due to a hectic schedule. However, he made an astonishing career in UFC before returning to WWE in 2012. Upon returning to WWE, Lesnar’s first opponent was the face of the company John Cena. While he manhandled Cena on RAW, The Beast Incarnate received a warning from an NBA legend. A few years ago, during the Memphis Grizzlies [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/memphis-grizzlies/]‘ NBA [https://www.nba.com/] playoff game against the Los Angeles Clippers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/la-clippers/], Charles Barkley [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-barkley/] warned Brock Lesnar [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brock-lesnar/]. This was when wrestling legend Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler appeared and by delivering a Piledriver to a local independent wrestler disguised as a Clippers fan. Barkley, during TNT’s Inside the NBA, said, “I love Jerry ‘The King”, but Brock Lesnar, you better leave John Cena alone. Or me and Shaq are coming for you. John Cena is my man.” In the meantime, the TNT crew also showed footage from Shaquille O’Neal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shaquille-oneal/]’s RAW appearance as a guest host in July 2009. They discussed the brawl Shaq and The Big Show had in the ring. When Inside the NBA panel was on the screen again, Barkley added to the previous statement of the challenge he issued to The Beast. Superstar In WWE History [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-hulk-hogan-news-watch-the-match-that-made-brock-lesnar-the-most-terrifying-superstar-in-wwe-history/] Sir Charles said, “Brock Lesnar, get off John Cena [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena], or I’m gonna make a personal appearance on RAW.” Meanwhile, O’Neal added, “Go on man. I got your back.” Barkley is a WWE [https://www.wwe.com/] fan but hasn’t appeared as a guest on the show ever. However, it would be great to see WWE invite him to a show and indulge Barkley in some form of action. SHAQUILLE O’NEAL CALLED OUT BROCK LESNAR IN A PUN-INTENDED WAY When Brock Lesnar proclaimed his retirement from UFC [http://ufc.com/] in 2011, many celebrities congratulated him on a brilliant career. Former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal also congratulated him in a funny way, posting a video on social media. In the video, Shaq said, “Brock Lesnar, you lucky you retired because I wanted to fight you. No, I’m just playing. Congratulations brother you had a great career. WrestleMania, UFC. You are the best brother, congrats. Welcome to the retirement.” Shaq has watched Lesnar since he was in WWE. The NBA legend wanted to show his respects to the former UFC Heavyweight Champion. However, WWE should have Shaq and Lesnar in the same ring someday. What do you think? Should WWE plan a segment in the near future? Share your thoughts below.

The LA Clippers owned by Steve Ballmer is part of the NBA's Western Conference. The team shares the Crypto.com Arena as their home arena with city rivals Los Angeles Lakers along with whom they are part of the Pacific Division.
<img class="size-full wp-image-386163 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200922131406/Clippers-Logo-e1472074589881-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
The side was one of the three expansion teams to join the <a href="https://www.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> in 1970. At the time they were known as the Buffalo Braves. They were based in New York for 8 seasons and reached the playoffs on three consecutive years between 1974-1976. 
In 1978 they shifted base to California and were known as the San Diego Clippers. 6 years later they moved to Los Angeles. However, these moves weren't successful for the side. They made the playoffs only 4 times in their first 28 years as the Los Angeles Clippers. 
Coach Tyronn Lue is leading the team right now, while Lawrence Frank and Michael Winger serve as the president and general manager respectively.
The Los Angeles Clippers acquired big names such as Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Chris Paul in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The acquisitions marked a change in fortunes for the side and they reached the playoffs in 7 of the 8 seasons between 2012 to 2019.

During the 2019 offseason, the LA Clippers signed 2X NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and acquired time NBA all-star Paul George, from Oklahoma City Thunder. The trade saw 2 players and 5 first-round draft picks go the other way and saw the team signal an intention to challenge for the NBA title. In the 2021-22 season, they are struggling in the absence of the injured Kawhi Leonard.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Brock Lesnar?Â </h2>
If there is one Superstar that does not need any introduction, it's Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate was one of the most dominant wrestlers in WWE history, as his sheer physical and athletic superiority gave him an undeniable edge over his opponents. Lesnar has been in the business long enough to add a huge blend of experience to his already superhuman abilities. He has had a well-decorated career so far and is one of the strongest athletes to ever grace the WWE ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s early lifeÂ </h2>
Brock Lesnar was born on July 12, 1977, in Webster, South Dakota to Ricard and Stephanie Lesnar. His parents did not have any connection with the wrestling world and ran a dairy farm. He has three siblings, two brothers and one sister named Troy Lesnar, Chad Lesnar, and Brandi Nichol Lesnar. Speaking of his education, Brock studied at Webster High School and was a big football fan throughout his school days.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s wife and children</h2>
Brock Lesnar met his life partner, Rena Greek, renowned by her ring name Sable while working with WWE. The couple finally tied the knot in May 2006 following an extensive dating period. Just like her husband, Sable has also made a name for herself in the wrestling world. She majorly dominated in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

As far as children are concerned, Lesnar became a father for the first time in 2002 as he welcomed a daughter named Mya Lynn and a son named Luke Lesnar with his then-fiancÃ©e Nicole McClain. Lesnar also has two kids with his wife Sable in the form of two sons, Turk and Duke Lesnar. Brock also essays the role of a stepfather for Mariah, who is Sable's biological daughter from her previous relationship.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnar net worth 2024</h2>
As per wealthygorilla.com, Brock Lesnar has a net worth of $25 million. The wrestler majorly earns from WWE while he also has a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition and Death Clutch.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s career timeline</h2>
Brock Lesnar joined the World Wrestling Federation in 2000 and formed a team with Shelton Benjamin named The Minnesota Stretching Crew to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship a total of three times. His initial foray into WWE came in March 2022 during RAW. In his first game, he defeated The Hardy Boyz, and in June of the same year, won the King of the Ring tournament.

He also became eligible to participate in the Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam where he outshined <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">The Rock</a> to become the youngest world champion in WWE's history.

[caption id="attachment_1963171" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1963171 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1393475587.jpg" alt="Brock Lesnar" width="1920" height="1264" /> GLENDALE, ARIZONA - APRIL 22: Brock Lesnar, former WWE champion and UFC champion, flexes for the crowd during a game between the Arizona Coyotes and Washington Capitals at Gila River Arena on April 22, 2022 in Glendale, Arizona.

Further, during his time with the company, Lesnar competed with a lot of wrestlers including <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/">The Undertaker</a>, Hulk Hogan, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a>, Kurt Angle, and many others. In a surprising turn of events in 2004, the superstar decided to put a halt on his wrestling career to pursue his passion for football. Following his childhood dream of playing the sport, Lesnar didn't want to turn 40 with any regrets of what could have been. He joined the training leagues and soon caught wind of the scouts.

He was then called up for trials. However, a short while before the trials, Lesnar met with a big motorcycle accident, which injured him badly. According to Paul Heyman, Lesnar still went for the trials and completed the dash in record time.Â Sadly, the groin injury that he had sustained as a result of the accident proved to be the poison to his NFL career as it kept acting up. Lesnar was released from the Minnesota Vikings just half a season after he had joined.

Following his very short stint in the NFL, Brock decided to join the Japan-based wrestling promotion named New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He was quick to make an impact there also as he defeated Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. In 2007, the star wrestler lost to Kurt Angle and thus decided to take a break from wrestling till 2012.

It was a dramatic comeback for Lesnar in WWE in 2012 as he lost to John Cena before defeating <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a>. The rivalry between Triple H and Lesnar continued for months as the two took turns to defeat one another. In 2014, the star returned to Raw to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating The Undertaker and Cena.

He then went on to carry the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days following a victory against Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. It was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns'</a> who put a dent in Brock's winning streak by defeating him at the SummerSlam. Following that he won the WWE Championship and after some months took a break from the company.

Lesnar made his comeback to WWE at SummerSlam PPV after being out of action following his loss at WrestleMania to Drew McIntyre. The most surprising part about his comeback was that he rocked a ponytail and a beard, something that the WWE Universe never expected. The Beast then feuded with the reigning WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and lost.

[caption id="attachment_1908643" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1908643 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Brock-Lesnar-Roman-reigns-2.jpg" alt="Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more" width="1920" height="1280" /> Image Courtesy: Imago[/caption]

The pair was again set to face each other at the Day 1 event, but Reigns had to pull out of the match. Lesnar was then added to the Raw WWE Championship match in which he defeated Lashley, Rollins, Kevin Owens, and defending champion Big E. 'The Beast Incarnated' then faced Lashley at the Royal Rumble event and lost his title after interference from Reigns. Later that night, he entered the Rumble match at the 30th spot and won the whole thing. Following that, he continued making appearances at WrestleMania and Smackdown taking on different opponents.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s contracts</h2>
Brock Lesnar has a lucrative contract with WWE that pays him a handsome amount of $12 million annually.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</h2>
The wrestling has formed a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition while also being associated with the fashion brand Death Clutch.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s wrestling career stats</h2>
Brock Lesnar has so far featured in 434 wrestling matches, winning 312 games and losing 114 fixtures. He has a winning and losing percentage of 71.9 and 26.3 respectively, while eight of his matches ended in a draw.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Brock Lesnarâ€™s records</h2>
Brock Lesnar once made it to the history books for holding the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days. The feat was later achieved by a handful of other superstars as well, and thus he currently occupies the sixth place on the esteemed list. In 2004, Lesnar stole the limelight by breaking The Undertaker's winning streak at WrestleMania while he also made a name for himself by winning the iconic Royal Rumble twice.

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Who is Brock Lesnar?Â  If there is one Superstar that does not need any introduction, it&#8217;s Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate was one of the most dominant wrestlers in WWE history, as his sheer physical and athletic superiority gave him an undeniable edge over his opponents. Lesnar has been in the business long enough to add a huge blend of experience to his already superhuman abilities. He has had a well-decorated career so far and is one of the strongest athletes to ever grace the WWE ring. Brock Lesnarâ€™s early lifeÂ  Brock Lesnar was born on July 12, 1977, in Webster, South Dakota to Ricard and Stephanie Lesnar. His parents did not have any connection with the wrestling world and ran a dairy farm. He has three siblings, two brothers and one sister named Troy Lesnar, Chad Lesnar, and Brandi Nichol Lesnar. Speaking of his education, Brock studied at Webster High School and was a big football fan throughout his school days.Â  Brock Lesnarâ€™s wife and children Brock Lesnar met his life partner, Rena Greek, renowned by her ring name Sable while working with WWE. The couple finally tied the knot in May 2006 following an extensive dating period. Just like her husband, Sable has also made a name for herself in the wrestling world. She majorly dominated in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Image Courtesy: Imago As far as children are concerned, Lesnar became a father for the first time in 2002 as he welcomed a daughter named Mya Lynn and a son named Luke Lesnar with his then-fiancÃ©e Nicole McClain. Lesnar also has two kids with his wife Sable in the form of two sons, Turk and Duke Lesnar. Brock also essays the role of a stepfather for Mariah, who is Sable&#8217;s biological daughter from her previous relationship. Brock Lesnar net worth 2024 As per wealthygorilla.com, Brock Lesnar has a net worth of $25 million.

Brock Lesnarâ€™s career timeline Brock Lesnar joined the World Wrestling Federation in 2000 and formed a team with Shelton Benjamin named The Minnesota Stretching Crew to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship a total of three times. His initial foray into WWE came in March 2022 during RAW. In his first game, he defeated The Hardy Boyz, and in June of the same year, won the King of the Ring tournament. He also became eligible to participate in the Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam where he outshined The Rock to become the youngest world champion in WWE&#8217;s history.

(Photo by Norm Hall/NHLI via Getty Images) Further, during his time with the company, Lesnar competed with a lot of wrestlers including The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Kurt Angle, and many others. In a surprising turn of events in 2004, the superstar decided to put a halt on his wrestling career to pursue his passion for football. Following his childhood dream of playing the sport, Lesnar didn&#8217;t want to turn 40 with any regrets of what could have been. He joined the training leagues and soon caught wind of the scouts. He was then called up for trials. However, a short while before the trials, Lesnar met with a big motorcycle accident, which injured him badly. According to Paul Heyman, Lesnar still went for the trials and completed the dash in record time.Â Sadly, the groin injury that he had sustained as a result of the accident proved to be the poison to his NFL career as it kept acting up. Lesnar was released from the Minnesota Vikings just half a season after he had joined. Following his very short stint in the NFL, Brock decided to join the Japan-based wrestling promotion named New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He was quick to make an impact there also as he defeated Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. In 2007, the star wrestler lost to Kurt Angle and thus decided to take a break from wrestling till 2012. It was a dramatic comeback for Lesnar in WWE in 2012 as he lost to John Cena before defeating Triple H. The rivalry between Triple H and Lesnar continued for months as the two took turns to defeat one another. In 2014, the star returned to Raw to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating The Undertaker and Cena. He then went on to carry the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days following a victory against Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. It was Roman Reigns&#8217; who put a dent in Brock&#8217;s winning streak by defeating him at the SummerSlam. Following that he won the WWE Championship and after some months took a break from the company. Lesnar made his comeback to WWE at SummerSlam PPV after being out of action following his loss at WrestleMania to Drew McIntyre. The most surprising part about his comeback was that he rocked a ponytail and a beard, something that the WWE Universe never expected. The Beast then feuded with the reigning WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and lost. Image Courtesy: Imago The pair was again set to face each other at the Day 1 event, but Reigns had to pull out of the match. Lesnar was then added to the Raw WWE Championship match in which he defeated Lashley, Rollins, Kevin Owens, and defending champion Big E. &#8216;The Beast Incarnated&#8217; then faced Lashley at the Royal Rumble event and lost his title after interference from Reigns. Later that night, he entered the Rumble match at the 30th spot and won the whole thing. Following that, he continued making appearances at WrestleMania and Smackdown taking on different opponents.

Â Brock Lesnarâ€™s records Brock Lesnar once made it to the history books for holding the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days. The feat was later achieved by a handful of other superstars as well, and thus he currently occupies the sixth place on the esteemed list.

Charles Barkley

Who is Charles Barkley? 60-year-old Charles Barkley is known by many as the candid jokester from &#8216;Inside the NBA&#8217; on TNT. The Basketball Hall of Famer joined the broadcasting circuit in 2000, shortly after retiring from professional basketball. Before that, Barkley played in the NBA for 16 seasons, with 11 of them being All-Star seasons. NEW YORK, NY &#8211; OCTOBER 18: Retired NBA player Charles Barkley attends the 2016 Broadcasting &amp; Cable Hall of Fame 26th Anniversary Gala at The Waldorf Astoria on October 18, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by Desiree Navarro/WireImage) Charles Barkley&#8217;s Early Life Charles Barkley was born on February 20, 1963, to Frank Barkley and Charcey Glenn. The two then had another son named Darryl Barkley. But Frank abandoned the family when Charles was young and his parents eventually divorced. The NBA legend was born and brought up in Leeds, Alabama. Shockingly, the future NBA superstar was in a life-threatening situation when he was born as he weighed just over six pounds. Barkley had severe anemia, and his condition was serious when he was six weeks old. Fortunately, he recovered with the help of doctors. Interestingly, even his mother was astonished at how Barkley turned out to be an elite athlete despite being underweight during birth. Charles had a poor relationship with his father during his younger years. However, the two then bonded well later on until his father&#8217;s demise in December 2021. The 11x NBA All-Star once opened up about his father and their initial rocky relationship. His mother Charcey passed away in June 2015. Charles Barkley graduated from Leeds High School in 1980 and was recruited by Auburn University to play college basketball. Barkley majored in business management and graduated in 1984, declaring for the NBA Draft. Charles Barkley&#8217;s Wife and Children In 1989, Charles married Maureen Blumhardt. The couple welcomed their daughter Christiana Barkley the same year. Interestingly, the Hall of Famer named his only child after the Christiana Mall in Delaware. In 2021, his daughter tied the knot with Ilya Hoffman in the presence of close friends and family. 2 years ago, Christiana and her husband welcomed their son Henry into the world. A year and a half later, Charles Barkley proudly shared the birth of his second grandchild, Charles Eliza, named in honor of the 1993 NBA MVP. Charles Barkley&#8217;s Net Worth 2024Â  NBA legend Charles Barkley currently has an estimated net worth of $70 million.

Charles Barkley&#8217;s Career Charles Barkley&#8217;s start to his basketball career was not what he had in mind. He was 5&#8217;10&#8221; and overweight as a junior and did not make the varsity team. Interestingly, Barkley had a shocking growth spurt in the summer and stood at 6&#8217;4&#8243;. As his basketball skills aligned with his physical prowess, Barkley became a starter on the varsity team as a senior. However, he was still not considered a college prospect. But things changed when he dominated one of the highly-rated college prospects in the state. Soon, Auburn University came calling. The once six-pound infant who was in a life-threatening situation struggled with weight gain during his college career. However, Barkley established himself as one of the best college players in the country. During his time with Auburn University, Barkley also earned a lot of accolades for his performances. Then he declared for the NBA Draft in 1984. The Philadelphia 76ers selected Barkley as the 5th overall pick in the draft. He hit the ground running and earned a spot on the All-Rookie First Team. In the next few years, he continued his ascension and established himself as one of the best players in the league. He made his first All-Star appearance in 1987 and won the All-Star MVP award in 1991. However, team success was hard to come by. The power forward was tired of losing and requested a trade. The Sixers traded him to the Phoenix Suns in 1992. During his first season with the Suns, Barkley clinched the NBA MVP award while averaging 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. Notably, Chuck won the MVP race against Michael Jordan who was in his prime. Unfortunately for Barkley, his luck against close friend Jordan ran out in the 1993 NBA Finals. The Chicago Bulls clinched their third straight title by beating the Suns 4-2.  via Getty Over the next few seasons, Barkley and the Suns did not make the Conference Finals. In the twilight of his career, he moved to the Houston Rockets to team up with legends like Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, and Scottie Pippen for a shot at the title. Barkley even took pay cuts to accommodate other stars. However, the aging Rockets did not reach find success. Barkley would rupture his left quadricep tendon during his last season.

He dominated at Auburn University in a pair of Converse All Star Pros. Despite being the SEC MVP during his college days, the road to a signature shoe line would be long for him. It wasn&#8217;t until 1992, when he moved to the Phoenix Suns, that Barkley would sign with Nike and begin working on his own shoe. In 1993, the Air Max Force CB would hit the market, opening the floodgates for drops like the Air Max CB 34, the Nike Air Super CB and more, going on to have seven shoes with Nike by the end of his contract. Even the contract Charles Barkley signed with Nike has an interesting tale. As the 1993 NBA MVP put it, he was being courted by Nike when one of its biggest stars, Michael Jordan, gave the forward some valuable advice. Barkley and Jordan having some banter on court Michael Jordan advised Charles Barkley to convert a part of his $2 million contract into Nike stock. With the stock price at just over $2 in 1992, Barkley agreed to Jordan and ended up making 10x the value of his initial contract. Charles Barkley&#8217;sÂ House Charles Barkley currently resides in his house in Scottsdale, Arizona. The property reportedly cost him around $2.2 million. Barkley bought the luxury mansion when he was playing for the Phoenix Suns. The estate spans over 8,600 square feet with three bedrooms and six bathrooms with many lavish amenities. Charles Barkley&#8217;s Rings Despite being in constant playoff contention, Charles Barkley only played in the NBA Finals once during his 16-season career. It was during his MVP season and he faced off against the man he had beaten for the regular season trophy &#8211; Michael Jordan. Unfortunately for Barkley, his sole trip to the promised land would be cut short as Jordan and the Bulls closed out the series in 6 games to complete their first three-peat. As a result, Charles Barkley has 0 rings. Charles Barkley&#8217;sÂ Car Collection Charles Barkley has an impressive car collection. Some of the most notable cars in the NBA legend&#8217;s garage include the 2011 Lincoln Navigator, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Bentley Continental Sports, Audi A4, and the 2020 Lincoln Navigator L Black Label.

No other wrestler in the world has polarized opinions as much as John Cena. For some, he's just a pretty face who had the backing of the management and became "Super Cena." For many others, he is the champ who ran the camp for WWE when there were no legitimate stars.

Shaquille O'Neal

Who is Shaquille O&#8217;Neal? Before breaking rims and shattering backboards became rather routine, the NBA rarely saw a phenomenon quite like Shaquille O&#8217;Neal. During his 19-year-long career, O&#8217;Neal built a reputation around his physical dominance on the court. Standing at 7&#8217;1&#8243; tall and weighing over 300 pounds during his prime, he was notoriously unguardable. With 4 NBA championships, an MVP award, 15 All-Star selections, and over 28,000 career points, he is noted to be one of basketball&#8217;s most influential big men ever. He ventured into music, entrepreneurship, and entertainment after basketball, which only furthered his worldwide fame. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s early life Shaquille O&#8217;Neal was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Lucille O&#8217;Neal and Joe Toney. He did not know of his biological father, Joe Toney, who was imprisoned for drug possession when Shaq was very young. Lucille, his mother, then married a military drill sergeant &#8211; Phillip A. Harrison, who played a big role in Shaq&#8217;s childhood. Shaq has three siblings, Ayesha, Jamal, and Lateefah O&#8217;Neal. Ayesha battled with cancer and passed away in 2019. While O&#8217;Neal became a national sensation because of his dominance on the court, his larger-than-life personality and humor made him a popular figure around the world. When he first entered the league, Shaq was not confident with the media. However, he understood its importance and worked on his skills, which helped in ways not many could have imagined. Shaq studied business at Louisiana State University and played college basketball for the Tigers. His parents were adamant he should complete his college education before testing the league. Be that as it may, as coach Dale Brown was concerned O&#8217;Neal could end up with a career-ending injury due to the hard fouls he had been enduring in college games, he suggested O&#8217;Neal should declare for the NBA draft. After three years of college, Shaq declared for the NBA draft and theÂ Orlando Magic drafted him as the #1 pick in 1992. He got the go-ahead for this as he promised his mother that he would return to finish his degree. Shaq then kept his promise by completing his bachelor&#8217;s degree in 2000 while still playing in the NBA. As O&#8217;Neal felt disrespected when he was ignoredÂ during business meetings by his associates, he obtained an MBA degree from the University of Phoenix in 2005 to prove he has what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. His mother came to himÂ with tears of joy after his MBA and motivated him to go further. Then, in 2012, Shaq earned his doctoral degree in organizational learning and leadership, specializing in human resource development from Barry University. Shaquille O Neal&#8217;s wife and children Shaquille O&#8217;Neal has six children. In 1996, he and his ex-girlfriend Arnetta Yardbourgh welcomed their first child, Taahirah O&#8217;Neal. He then married Shaunie Henderson in 2002. Shaunie is a reality TV star and one of the executive producers of the Basketball Wives TV series. She had a son, Myles, from a previous relationship. O&#8217;Neal and Shaunie then had four children: Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir, and Me&#8217;arah. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal and Shaunie separated in 2011 after nine years of marriage. She then tied the knot with Pastor Keion Henderson in 2022. Shaq has not re-married since his divorce. Among his children, Shareef, Amirah, Shaqir, and Me&#8217;arah are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps in pursuing basketball. At 17, Me&#8217;arah is already growing at a rapid pace and has all the markings of a great player. She recently committed to play college basketball for the Florida Gators, snubbing her father&#8217;s alma mater, LSU. The four-star prospect is ranked No. 33 for the Class of 2024. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s net worth 2024 Shaquille O&#8217;Neal signed a 7-year $120 million contract when he joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996. It was one of the biggest deals at the time. Throughout his storied career, he went on to earn nearly $290 million in NBA salary and over $200 million in endorsements.

Schwartzman Building in New York City. (Photo by Brent N. Clarke/Getty Images) With a knack for business, the 4x NBA champion has also built an empire. He owns a total of 50 brands in different industries. As of January 2024, Shaq has amassed a net worth of $400 million. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s NBA career timeline Shaquille O&#8217;Neal played in the NBA for six teams throughout his 19-year career. He took the league by storm as a rookie. In his fourth NBA season, O&#8217;Neal led the Orlando Magic to the 1995 NBA Finals. Shaq then joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996, the same year the Lakers acquired a young Kobe BryantÂ on draft day. Shaq and the Lakers struggled initially. However, the addition of head coach Phil Jackson changed everything. He then led the Lakers to a three-peat (2000-2002). Shaq won the Finals MVP award on all three occasions and also won the 2000 NBA MVP. Shaquille O&#8217;Neal is surrounded by media after the Lakers win the NBA Championship in East Rutherford, New Jersey on June 12, 2002. (Photo by Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) In 2004, O&#8217;Neal took his talents to South Beach and helped the Miami Heat win the NBA Championship in 2006. However, Shaq was no longer at his prime and suffered multiple nagging injuries. From 2007 to 11, he played for three teams and announced his retirement while playing for the Boston Celtics in 2011, when he was 39. During his career, basketball rims and backboards were not safe. Shaq has broken a whopping 19 rims with his powerful slams. In 2017, O&#8217;Neal posted a picture of a sculpture made of all 19 rims he had broken and called it &#8216;Broken Rim Tree.&#8217; Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s contracts Here&#8217;s a breakdown of Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s contracts and earnings throughout his NBA career:  Year Team Salary Career Earnings  1992-93 Orlando Magic $3,000,000 $3,000,000  1993-94 Orlando Magic $3,900,000 $3,900,000  1994-95 Orlando Magic $4,800,000 $4,800,000  1995-96 Orlando Magic $5,700,000 $5,700,000  1996-97 Los Angeles Lakers $10,714,000 $10,714,000  1997-98 Los Angeles Lakers $12,857,143 $12,857,143  1998-99 Los Angeles Lakers $9,146,341 $9,146,341  1999-00 Los Angeles Lakers $17,142,858 $17,142,858  2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers $19,285,715 $19,285,715  2001-02 Los Angeles Lakers $21,428,572 $21,428,572  2002-03 Los Angeles Lakers $23,571,429 $23,571,429  2003-04 Los Angeles Lakers $24,749,999 $24,749,999  2004-05 Los Angeles Lakers $27,696,430 $27,696,430  2005-06 Miami Heat $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2006-07 Miami Heat $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2007-08 Phoenix Suns $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2008-09 Phoenix Suns $21,000,000 $21,000,000  2009-10 Cleveland Cavaliers $20,000,000 $20,000,000  2010-11 Boston Celtics $1,352,181 $1,352,181  Approximate Earnings $286,344,668 $286,344,668   Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s endorsements and investments Shaquille O&#8217;Neal is one of the most successful former athletes turned businessman. Big Diesel owns a total of 50 brands in different industries, with over 172 restaurants and 150 car washes. Even though he has been retired for over a decade now, Shaq still endorses 30 companies. O&#8217;Neal was a part owner of a whopping 155 Five Guys Burgers restaurants. He is the proud owner of franchises such as Krispy Kreme, Papa John&#8217;s Pizza, Auntie Anne&#8217;s Pretzel, Car Wash, and 24-Hour Fitness. Additionally, he owns 9 Papa John&#8217;s Pizza restaurants. Shaq also invested in companies like Apple, PepsiCo, Google, and General Electric. His investment in Google helped him massively increaseÂ his net worth. O&#8217;Neal is also aÂ shareholder of the Authentic Brands Group which owns JCPenney and Forever 21. The group has the right to royalty of legends like Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, and Marilyn Monroe. Being the second-highest shareholder, Shaq too owns a percentage of the legends&#8217; royalties. Even though Shaq has made some very smart investments that helped him build his business empire, he has also missed out on some huge opportunities, including investing in Starbucks. He opted not toÂ invest in the chain of coffeehousesÂ because of an interesting reason. Around the court, Shaq was once a minority owner of the Sacramento Kings, but he recently sold his shares. However, he is still open to being an owner in the NBA and expressed hisÂ desire to buy stakes at his former team the Orlando Magic.

The partnership, however, dates back to Shaq&#8217;s early days in the NBA. Dating back to the mid-90s, Shaq helped launch Reebok to the grand stage in the world of basketball, attracting players like Allen Iverson, who has joined O&#8217;Neal as the Vice President of Reebok Basketball. Shaq re-calls one incident that particularly moved him in his history with Reebok. While leaving the arena one day, O&#8217;Neal was approached by a parent, who accused Shaq of overpricing his sneakers. Having been challenged by the woman to make more affordable shoes, Shaq declined his $40 million five-year contract with Reebok. He went on to collaborate with Walmart, releasing a shoe priced under $30. Shaquille Oâ€™Nealâ€™s house Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s massive houses are fit for a giant of his size.

On top of this, Shaq also has mansions in Dallas and Atlanta. His house in Atlanta rests on a massive 14.3-acre property, which he bought back in 2016 for $1.15 million.
