Shaquille O’Neal is a very big man, he was blessed with physical talent that brought him up as a tremendous basketball player. Probably the most polarizing player of his time. He will go down as one of the best big men in the game. If it wasn’t for his god given talent he wouldn’t have all the opportunities that he has gotten overtime. Using his personality as a platform Shaq has been able to rack up 14 million followers on social media.
The man makes money without even having to play basketball anymore. Years after his retirement, he is estimated to be earning $25 million to $30 million per year. Many people know don’t know that Shaquille O’Neal owns Five Guys franchises, but did you know that the man owns 155 locations? The Diesel owns 40, 24-Hour Fitness locations and he made sure to tailor all of the locations according to his standards. He has invested in numerous companies and this has allowed him to rack up the millions. He is the definition of a go getter.
Interesting! I find it ironic that he owns a fast food place as well as a workout place. Good for him though, I was unaware of this.
Once having established a personality he certainly has a lot to work with cameos and ad work, and that he can still work comfortably and make so much is amazing.
I think that Shaq has made many good choices with his career after basketball. I think that it was smart for him to stay in the athletic and fitness market because that it was he is known for. He is using his resources and his character as a platform to jump from which is a very smart entrepreneurial move. I am interested to see what else he will do!
Ok this I did not know. I knew Shaq had various deals with The General Insurance and Icy Hot. This deal with the Five Guys is crazy though. I suppose when you make as much money as he did from his time in the NBA, you can afford to go on crazy business ventures like that. Super cool that he’s doing something with his life still and not declining into nothingness! Now I wanna check to see if I’ve gone to a Shaq-style Five Guys!
I never knew that he owned Five Guys and 24-Hour Fitness locations! He definitely took advantage of his earnings in the NBA to open those franchises! I never would have guessed that Shaquille O’Neal was such a businessman, but it definitely shows!
