Shaquille O’Neal teaches children that the secret to his success is that he always listened to his parents’ advice and guidance.
Shaquille O’Neal, also known as Shaq, has accomplished a lot in his career. The Los Angeles Lakers legend earned a reputation in the NBA by dominating his opponents.
The ‘Diesel’ took advantage of his size and was practically unstoppable near the rim. He won four NBA titles and many other honors, and became one of the biggest stars in the game.
During his 19-year NBA career, Shaquille O’Neal earned more than $286 million. O’Neal has also made numerous investments in businesses and corporations, bringing his net worth to over 0 million.
He has made headlines for his antics, both on and off the pitch. He went from being one of the best players on the court to helping others outside of the NBA. Shaq never hesitates to spend money on things that can benefit people in the future, and he never backs down when it comes to his family’s pleasure.
Shaquille O’Neal explains to kids how he made his $400 million empire
Shaquille O’Neal is a four-time NBA champion, three-time NBA Finals MVP, and a 15-time NBA All-Star; he is also one of many children’s favorite players of all time. They love him on TNT, and who doesn’t? His humor and smile are contagious.
But Shaq is also a Toys for Tots ambassador who has played the role of Shaq-a-Claus for almost 20 years, donating toys to children in need to brighten their Christmas. Shaq is partnering with Items “R” Us again this year to collect merch for Toys for Tots, and he wanted to stop by our POPSUGAR New York office to talk about his #PlayItForward initiative and the youth who need help this holiday season.
In one episode, on the Shaq’s Life YouTube channel, two children and a friend were invited along with their parents. O’Neal reveals in the episode that children love him and gravitate towards him.
Shaq approached the children and asked if they wanted to know how he made all his money. He says, “Get together, I’m not saying this out loud, you want to know how I made 0 million?
Just by listening to my mommy and my daddy”
The Lakers legend’s lesson that he made his money listening to his mom and dad is one that will help those kids a lot. Shaq finds a very healthy and quite funny way to get the kids to listen to his parents. Something we can all take a page from.
O’Neal has commented that the guidance he got from his parents has made him the success he is now.
He consistently followed his financial advice and ended up earning millions of dollars as a result.
The Diesel has always maintained a humble attitude towards his money and has taught his children not to take anything for granted and to earn and save on their own.
