NBA players earn a heck of a lot of money. Some even more than others given how well they have handled their earnings.
Perhaps one of the smartest businessmen in the NBA is Shaquille O’Neal. Having made several smart investments with his money throughout his career, Shaq now sits with a net worth of a cool $400 million.
However, there are times when even The Big Aristotle has been a tad irresponsible with his money. As seen when he bought three cars for $1.3 million.
Shaquille O’Neal bought three Rolls-Royces for $1.3 million because he felt insulted
Shaq is one of the richest men on planet earth. The man has earned millions throughout his life, both in the NBA and as a businessman.
Having achieved so much in his career, it is only natural for him to hate being underestimated. As was the case when the four-time champion went to go buy a car and was asked if he could afford it.
Diesel recalled how he once went to a dealership where he asked the dealer for the price of several vehicles. At that point, the dealer, who had his doubts questioned if O’Neal could even afford a car.
Shaq, obviously insulated decided to prove a point and proceeded to buy three Rolls-Royces for $1.3 million. Talk about a major flex.
Shaquille O’Neal just received a huge contract extension from Turner Sports
Turner Sports, the company that pretty much runs TNT’s Inside the NBA had just made major headlines. It was reported that the company has reached agreements with all four of its analysts, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith.
If Sir Charles’ contract is anything go by, then Shaq may have just netted himself a contract close to $200 million. Safe to say Diesel will be living it up with that kind of money.
