Shaquille O'Neal is a huge name in the world of the NBA.
Shaquille O'Neal
NBA Hall of Famer, Shaquille O’Neal, is one of the richest retired athletes in the world. After a 19-season NBA career, the 7-foot 325-pound giant is living his best life. Now a businessman and a sports analyst, O’Neal has achieved everything that a retired athlete would want. His business success has made him a well-known personality around the world.
Shaq has it all, from cars, and mansions, to even big-time investments in tech companies. The Diesel was a dominant force in the league during his prime. He has also managed to bring similar success off the court.
Shaquille O’Neal could own anything that came to his mind, though there was one time when he was jealous. O’Neal was once fascinated by an 80-year-old with a young wife on a big yacht.
I gotta get the biggest yacht, I got to get the space up front. So i get it, and I’m chilling, and you know, I’m just sitting there. I don’t know what pulled up next to me. This is the biggest thing I’ve ever seen in my life… It’s a 80-year-old guy with a young wife and all her friends. And I got mad, I got jealous. But you have to understand, a guy like me, jealousy motivates me. I was like ‘That’s going to be me.’… I’m going to be an old rich guy on a big yacht in thr Bahamas.Shaquille O’Neal said
The 52-year-old’s current net worth is around $500 million. In the last two years, O’Neal’s net worth has seen a whopping $100 million spike. With all the huge mansions and expensive cars, having a yacht for the Diesel is not a big deal.

The Diesel does own a yacht and it reportedly cost him around $130 million. He can now live his dream of having a big yacht and spending a relaxing summer.
While it wasn’t a huge purchase for him, it was a purchase that he had longed for. Living a life full of luxury, O’Neal is one of the elites in the world of basketball.
However, the great Michael Jordan is, in fact, the wealthiest retired athlete, whose net worth is estimated at $2 billion. Behind MJ is another NBA legend in the form of LeBron James who recently became a billionaire. O’Neal is on his way to the three-comma club, as he’ll soon reach the milestone of having a 10-figure net worth.
