Shaquille O’Neal was frequently viewed as a bully on the basketball court, and for a good reason. As a 7’1” 300+ beast of a man, O’Neal was the very embodiment of an NBA big man, and his dominance knew no limits during the height of his powers. And although that version of Shaq is long gone now, he continues to leave his mark in other ways.
As a rich celebrity worth hundreds of millions, O’Neal often uses his success to bless random people. This week specifically, he’s going viral for his story about helping a mom purchase a $1,500 laptop she couldn’t afford on her own.
“Shaq says he goes into stores looking for moms to help out. In this moment, he said he saw a mom at the register who couldn’t afford school laptops for her kids, Shaq stepped up and said, ‘I got you.'”
Despite his intimidating size, Shaq has always been a nice guy and it’s nice to know he’s a man of action over words. Besides helping people buy MacBooks, O’Neal is also known to frequently donate his money to charitable causes.
So, Shaq is clearly a star who cares for the people, and it’s probably why he continues to be one of the most widely respected and beloved legends in the game.
How Shaquille O’Neal Expanded His Empire After Leaving The NBA
When you think about it, it’s almost crazy how much money Shaq has made despite the many years that have passed since his retirement. But as he has told reporters in the past, the secret to his earnings is investing and O’Neal has put his money in the right places.
“I’m a part of over 100 companies, I have 30 endorsement deals, I am invested in over 200 companies, my favorite word in business is joint-ventureship,” said Shaq.
Obviously, Shaq doesn’t have enough money to buy everyone expensive laptops, but you have to give him respect for using his money and influence to make a positive difference in the world.
