Shaquille O’Neal Net Worth
Shaquille O’Neal is an American former professional basketball player who is a sports analyst on the television program Inside the NBA on TNT. He is regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. At 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall and 325 pounds (147 kg), he was one of the tallest and heaviest players ever. O’Neal played for six teams over his 19-year career.
He earned $292 million in salary alone during his time in the NBA. He earned well over $200 million from endorsements during that time. Even though he has been retired for many years, Shaq still earns around $60 million per year from endorsements and various business endeavors to this day.
He became famous largely due to his physical stature, which gave him a distinct advantage over his opponents. On two occasions in his early NBA career, Shaq’s overwhelmingly powerful dunks broke the steel backboard supports of the net. This prompted the league to increase the strength and stability of the backboards from then on. O’Neal is famous for his “drop step” move which he nicknamed the Black Tornado.
