Shaquille O'Neal

Not every single NBA player can make his fortune grow on a massive scale; most of them love to learn new ways to spend their money instead of making investments; this Lakers legend learned the hard way how easy it was to lose everything.

The good thing is that the purple and gold Icon Shaquille O'Neal learned from his mistakes and built a massive fortune. When O'Neal earned his first million, he spent it all in a day.

Shaq bought three Mercedes luxury cars, took a trip to Las Vegas, and bought some expensive jewelry, but the Bank Manager called him and told him he owed some expensive taxes for the million dollars.

Rebook showed up and offered him a millionaire contract to sell his own line of sneakers, "Shaq attack," but after a game, a woman approached him and claimed his shoes were too expensive and she couldn't buy them for his sons. O'Neal rejected the deal with Rebook and had his line of shoes sold cheaply in Walmart.

Shaquille O'Neal success in business

Shaq's selling his shoes in Walmart was a complete success, and now he owns different fast food franchises like 155 Five Guys restaurants, 40 gyms, 150 car wash shops, and even a movie theater. Shaq currently has a net worth of 400 million.
