Shaq is always looking to help those lead lives that ultimately lead to success. It’s the reason why he has reached the heights he has. His determination to help others is what has helped him make millions. And, it’s this philosophy that will see him continue to grow as a businessman.

And, when he does find someone, he’s the first to offer to pay. After all, $1500 worth of electronics doesn’t mean much to him.
Shaq truly is a gem of a human being, and while he did give his opponents nightmares on the court, there can be no denying that he has won the hearts of many off it.
