Shaquille O’Neal’s Self-made Millionaire Son Gets Emotional As He Joins DJ Snake on the List of Takeover Artists in Miami Club

It’s known in the NBA community that $400 million worth Shaquille O’Neal, made it abundantly clear to his kids that they would have to earn their bread when they come of age, famously saying, “We are not rich, I am rich.” And none of his 6 kids took it more seriously than Myles B. O’Neal. The professional model and DJ recently joined DJ Snake on the list of takeover artists in Miami Club.

The second in line after Taahirah O’Neal, and the elder brother of Shareef O’Neal, the 26-year-old is the only self-made millionaire (net worth: $35 Million) among his siblings. And his success in something totally away from the game of basketball is something his father must be very proud of. But what will possibly make him even prouder is Myles’s incredible recent achievement.

Shaquille O’Neal’s son, Myles B. O’Neal, gets emotional after making it to the rare list of takeover artists in Miami Club

An NBA champion with the Heat, Shaquille O’Neal is a big name in Miami, who has also entertained the party-loving crowd with his Rap songs and DJing skills over the years.

His son Myles reached the latter milestone too by making it among the takeover artists, as huge as DJ Snake at ‘E11even’ which is booked for June 16. He posted about the same on Instagram, being emotional about his latest achievement with the link to book tickets for the event on his story.

A brand ambassador for Puma, who has also had a show for Dolce & Gabbana and was an Under Armour ambassador without playing any particular sport professionally, made it to a million mark when he was 24 according to All Famous Birthdays. And it looks like he is not slowing down anytime soon.

Myles had it going from the beginning

Myles B. O’Neal is not Shaq’s biological child. He is Shaunie’s son, from her previous marriage. Getting to grow up with a man who had everything in the world, within the first of his humongous hands, Myles never took it for granted.

He made it up for not being good at a sport by getting As in college. Shaq once revealed it in an interview where he made that “I’m rich” quote, but went on to praise Myles on how he got his first car.

Maybe he did it for the Tesla. However, he is continuing on his path towards having a successful career without being in the shadow of his dad, while also keeping the O’Neal flag flying high.
