MrBeast and Shaquille O'Neal
Because of his less thrifty behavior, Shaquille O’Neal ended up setting the record for the most purchases made at Walmart in 2008. a staggering $70,000 cost as he was shopping for furniture for his new Phoenix home. Before this deal, he tried to buy every single item from the Louisiana store but was not allowed to do so. Interestingly, world-famous YouTuber MrBeast sat down with O’Neal on his podcast recently.
On the Big Podcast with Shaq, O’Neal and MrBeast, a billionaire YouTuber, were joking about a shopping record attempt. Additionally, Shaq interrupted his guest’s assertion that he once attempted to buy every item at a Walmart for a YouTube video, recounting his own attempt. The attempt that was thwarted by Walmart’s chain’s executives at the time. Shaquille O’Neal said, “They won’t let you do that.”
In addition, O’Neal revealed his motivation for wanting to wipe out Walmart. Shaq planned it for a good purpose, so he attempted to clear out a Walmart inventory. In 2005, ‘Hurricane Katrina’ made landfall. Neal claimed that he was purchasing items for those in need, who were suffering as a result of the disaster.
This kind gesture demonstrates Shaq’s generosity to a great extent. The legendary Lakers player has always tried to help out communities in need. Interestingly, when Walmart stopped Shaq, they never gave him an explanation.
However, Walmart management told MrBeast during his effort that they want customers in general to always get the items they come in for. Poor publicity results if their store is cleared out and clients are unable to find what they’re looking for.
MrBeast and Shaquille O’Neal on same page regarding Stephen Curry ‘leaving’ the Warriors
Although from North Carolina, MrBeast is a major Stephen Curry supporter and cheers for the Golden State Warriors. They argued he and Shaq couldn’t collaborate on creating a scenario in which Curry would depart the Warriors for the Hornets on the Big Podcast.
He has plenty of money. I’d be pissed if he left the Warriors. It’s already weird seeing Klay [Thompson] not play at the Warriors. If he left as well, my brain will break.
MrBeast said
The Hornets’ inclusion in the topic comes due to MrBeast’s business connection with the NBA franchise. In the past, MrBeast and the Hornets franchise had a business partnership. For the 2023–24 season, the 26-year-old agreed to a patch arrangement with the Hornets to have his food firm, Feastables, on their jersey.
Given that, Curry is also connected with the Hornets, due to his schooling being from North Carolina and his father, Dell Curry being a franchise legend. However, a move at the current stage is impossible, with Shaq also agreeing with MrBeast.
