Being a sports lover from a young age, Paras decided to combine his two interests of writing and sports. As he is a wrestling enthusiast, MMA was something that immediately attracted him. From Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, he follows everyone. However, Paras brazenly calls Stipe Miocic the UFC GOAT. Apart from writing, he is a voracious reader who loves the work of J. R. R. Tolkien.

Wherever Brock Lesnar entered, he unquestionably dominated everything. His appearance and attitude are highly intimidating to others. Notably, NBA star Shaquille O’Neal prefers ‘The Beast’ over UFC monster Mark Hunt. Notably, Lesnar has achieved success in mixed martial arts in addition to making a name for himself in the pro wrestling industry. In a 2016 interview with TMZ Sports, which was conducted before Lesnar’s last UFC match against Mark Hunt. Due to his greater stature, Shaq chose Lesnar over Hunt. In addition, he welcomed Lesnar, who had been absent from the UFC for a time as he was now ruling the WWE universe. He stated, “I like big guys, so I gotta go with big guys. Well, Mark Hunt is also a big guy but Brock Lesnar is a bigger guy. I’m a bigger guy, so bigger guys got to stay together. I just seen him at a WWE event, the one on the game with the big show. He’s a nice guy looked really good looking in shape.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-mma-ufc-news-is-brock-lesnars-ufc-career-overrated/] In addition, Shaq [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shaquille-oneal/] added that Lesnar’s return to the UFC makes him happy since he was difficult to defeat during his time as champion, and he expects Lesnar to defeat Hunt. However, the match ended as an NC. BROCK LESNAR VS MARK HUNT UFC 200 The Beast Incarnation’s victory against UFC legend Frank Mir in just his second professional UFC fight serves as proof of his stellar track record. In the UFC, he has a record of 5-3-0. However, after the Beast Incarnate [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brock-lesnar/] suffered a loss at UFC 141 against Alistair Overeem, Lesnar left the UFC [http://ufcstats.com/].

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Brock Lesnar?Â </b></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"><b>Brock Lesnarâ€™s early lifeÂ </b></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 <span style="font-weight: 400">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 </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnarâ€™s wife and children</b></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.

[caption id="attachment_1649882" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]<img class="wp-image-1649882 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Brock-Lesnar.jpeg" alt="Brock Lesnar" width="1600" height="1066" /> Image Courtesy: Imago[/caption]

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"><b>Brock Lesnar net worth 2024</b></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"><b>Brock Lesnarâ€™s career timeline</b></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. (Photo by Norm Hall/NHLI via Getty Images)[/caption]

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"><b>Â Brock Lesnarâ€™s records</b></h2>

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.

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. The wrestler majorly earns from WWE while he also has a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition and Death Clutch. 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. Brock Lesnarâ€™s contracts Brock Lesnar has a lucrative contract with WWE that pays him a handsome amount of $12 million annually. Brock Lesnarâ€™s partnerships and endorsements The wrestling has formed a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition while also being associated with the fashion brand Death Clutch. Brock Lesnarâ€™s wrestling career stats 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. 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. In 2004, Lesnar stole the limelight by breaking The Undertaker&#8217;s winning streak at WrestleMania while he also made a name for himself by winning the iconic Royal Rumble twice. Brock Lesnarâ€™s achievements Brock Lesnar has achieved a lot in his wrestling career so far and some of the key feats are mentioned below. 7x WWE Champion 3x WWE Universal Champion IWGP third belt champion IWGP heavyweight champion OVW Southern Tag Team Champion (3x) (with Shelton Benjamin as The Minnesota Stretching Crew) 1x UFC world heavyweight champion Brock Lesnarâ€™s charityÂ  Brock Lesnar has made several trips to the Make-a-Wish Foundation to fulfill the wishes of individuals from all over the world. Despite his gruff and aggressive stature in the ring, he always makes time to put smiles on some young faces. Lesnar also worked as a security guard for a day for ESPN, much to the delight of many fans passing by. He once served food in a cafeteria as a prank.

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.

(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.

Shaquille O&#8217;Neal: Music career Shaquille O&#8217;Neal began his music career in 1993 with his debut album Shaq Diesel. Even though the critics panned the album, it was a huge hit with the fans and received platinum certification from the RIAA. He has also worked alongside King of Pop Michael Jackson as a guest rapper on 2 Bad in MJ&#8217;s 1995 album HIStory. Since 2021, O&#8217;Neal has been performing as a DJ under the name DJ DIESEL. He once revealed that he chose to pursue electronic music because it is similar to basketball. On June 7, 2023, O&#8217;Neal released his first single as DJ Diesel from his debut electronic album Gorilla Warfare, titled &#8220;Bang Your Head,&#8221; in collaboration with Hairitage.Â  Shaquille Oâ€™Nealâ€™s shoe dealÂ  In 2023, sporting brand Reebok made Shaquille Oâ€™Neal its official President of Basketball, and he now will be bringing his expertise to drive Reebokâ€™s long-term strategy. 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. The Lakers icon&#8217;s 35,000-square-foot lakefront estate sits on 3 acres of land in a gated community outside Orlando. It has 12 bedrooms and 11 full bathrooms. The foyer features a sweeping double staircase and 35-foot ceilings. The property boasts a 6,000-square-foot indoor basketball court, a 17-plus car showroom-style garage, a home theater, and a giant Superman-themed bed. The mansion, after 26 years of ownership by the big man, was put up for sale in 2019 for a whopping $21.9 million. He had bought this estate in 1993 for a comparatively paltry $4million. 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. Shaq&#8217;s other French-style home in Dallas, purchased in 2022, was listed at $1,225,000 at the time of purchase.
