When Shaquille O'neal was drafted into the NBA, he spent
the first million that he earned within 30 minutes. O'neal
then received a phone call from his banker, who scolded
him, and told him that he would end up joining the list of
former athletes who ended up broke if the current trend
continued.
O'neal decided to sharpen up his education on business
and finance. He returned to college, completing his
Bachelor's degree, followed by his M.B.A, and lastly, his
Ed.D. That's right, he is now Dr. Shaquille O'neal.
As of today, Shaq is the joint owner of 155 Five Guys
Burgers restaurants, 17 Auntie Annie's Pretzels
restaurants, 150 car washes, 40 24-hour fitness centers, a
shopping center, a movie theater, and several Las Vegas
nightclubs.
In addition to his business holdings, O'neal still earns $22
million per year (roughly $423,000 per week) from his
endorsement deals with Arizona Creme soda, Icy Hot,
Gold Bond, Buick, Zales, and at least a half dozen
additional corporate sponsors. He is also a studio analyst
for TNT.
In Shaq's own words, "It is not about how much money
you make. The question is are you educated enough to
KEEP it."
