Shaquille O’Neal says he blew through his first $1 million endorsement check in a single day before learning a hard lesson about money. Graham Bensinger : “Right before the draft, you got a $1 million endorsement deal and spent it all in one day?” Shaq : “Pretty much. I thought I was getting a million dollars, but I forgot about taxes. After FICA and everything else, it was closer to $600,000.” “I bought a $150,000 Mercedes with no negotiation. Then my dad asked where his was, so I bought him the same car.” “My mom wanted one too, so I bought her a Mercedes as well. Just like that, about $500,000 was gone.” “Then came suits, jewelry, sound systems, and everything else I thought I needed.” “A few days later, the bank called and told me I was $80,000 overdrawn.” “That was the moment I realized I needed a financial advisor.” “I met a bunch of guys promising they could turn $40 million into $200 million overnight. I didn’t trust any of them.” “Then I met a guy named Lester Ness. He talked about saving money, protecting assets, and building wealth the right way.” “I said, ‘Shalom, I’m going with you.’”

Shaquille O’Neal says he learned business from a Dummies guide and put his parents on salaries of $500,000 and $750,000 after making it to the NBA “I learned about business from a book called The Dummies Guide to Starting Your Own Business. The first thing I did was incorporate Shaq. Then I put my mom on salary and put my dad on salary. I got them an office and got them a car. They were so proud” “The best day of my life was when I got drafted. My dad was hardcore. He wanted to stay on the Army base. I was like, ‘Nah, come with me. How much are you making in the Army?’ ‘I only make $60,000.’ ‘Now you make half a million a year.’ He started crying. ‘Mom, you make $750,000’”

Ezekiel Elliott says his rookie signing bonus was somewhere between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, and the first thing he bought with his NFL money was a house for his mom “Right when I got paid from my rookie contract, I was the fourth pick, so I had a decent-sized signing bonus. It was more than $10 million, less than $20 million. Somewhere in the middle.” “I bought my mom a house. So that was my first purchase with my NFL money. Right after I got paid, I bought myself that car.” “Other than that, those are definitely the two biggest ones.”

Shaquille O’Neal says he got offered $10 million for three albums, and all he actually wanted was two hours with Biggie in his house “And then my agent called me and said, ‘Hey man, they offered you a $10 million, three album deal.’ I was like, damn.” “But then I said to myself, you know what, nobody probably want to hear me rap. I want to rap with my favorite artist. So for me, it wasn’t about the $10 million. It was about Biggie being in my house for two hours.”

“There was no power, and the entire country was living off diesel (gasoline). I had a lot of friends in government who used to sell it to me, and I used it to power my house. One day, I came home and there was no light, so I moved my whole family to a hotel. I called a friend and asked where I could get diesel. He gave me the contact of a company, and I bought it from them, but it was very expensive. When the truck came to my house and I looked at the meter on it, I said to myself, ‘I could do this business.’ I told my manager to call the manager of that company because I wanted to buy the company, but they refused. So, I bought a second-hand pickup and started selling diesel myself around the estate. My friends even laughed at me whenever we met at the club. Today, I am an oil tycoon.” — Femi Otedola

When I seen that 120 million for 7 years with the option after three to renew… And as I’m signing, he puts his hand on my shoulder. He said, ‘Let me tell you something.

Shaq reveals how he spent the first $1,000,000 he made in 30 minutes on accident “I received a million dollars from a card deal, and I had always wanted a black Mercedes-Benz. So I got the check. Actually, I didn’t even look at the check. I just took it to the bank and signed the papers. I didn’t even realize the check actually said $650,000 and all that. But we’ll get back to that.” “I went straight to the dealership. I had no negotiating skills. I said, ‘How much is this Benz?’ The dude said, ‘$150,000.’ So in my mind, $1 million minus $150,000, I’m still rich. I’ve still got $850,000 left.” “So I get the Benz and go home showing it off to my dad. My dad says, ‘Man, I wish I had one of these.’ I said, ‘You know what? Come on.’ So we jump in the car, go back to the dealership, and I get him the exact same Benz. Now $850,000 minus $150,000, I’ve still got $700,000 left. I’m rich.” “We come back home, and then my mom says the same thing. So we go get her a Benz too, about $100,000. Now in my mind I’ve still got $600,000 left.” “After I take care of them, now I’ve got to go get the jewelry and the rings. I buy about 20 draft suits. I rent this high-rise apartment in San Antonio for a year. I don’t even know why I did it for a year because I wasn’t even staying there. But I just paid it all up front.” “A couple days later, the bank manager called me in. He said, ‘Mr. O’Neal, I don’t want you to be like all these athletes who get money and then go broke.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.’ Then he showed me the bank statement.” “I saw FICA on there, and FICA had taken so much money. I’d heard all these horror stories about agents stealing money and accountants stealing money, so I looked at the banker and said, ‘Who the hell is FICA?’” “He said, ‘Mr. O’Neal, you need to educate yourself.’ After that I said, ‘You know what? I need to slow down.’ And that’s a true story.”

Shaquille O’Neal says he passed on opening the first Starbucks in the hood because nobody in his family drank coffee, while his agent kicked him under the table to say yes “I could have been the first one to open up a Starbucks in the hood. That, that’s the key word.” “So the owner, he came and he said, ‘Shaq, I want to open up Starbucks in the hood.’ And I’m thinking about where I’m from, right now, it won’t work.” “I was like, my man, that ain’t gonna work. Because I’m thinking hood, but I ain’t know nothing about regentrification. So after I turned it down, Magic Johnson did it, you know, made a lot of money.” “But I was just trying to stay true to my roots, because nobody in my family drank coffee. So I was like, Howard Schultz, you know, who’s a good friend of mine, the owner of Starbucks. I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t think it’ll work.’” “And my guy was kicking me under the table like, ‘Yo, take these Starbucks.’ Like, it was gonna be Shaquille O’Neal Strawberry, take these Starbucks.”
