Former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal continues to pile up the cash ten years after he retired from the game as one of the greatest centers the league has ever seen. He is now an analyst for the Hall of Fame. The NBA has many other organizations. is worth an estimated $400 million — give or take $50 million, but who’s counting?
One thing is certain, regardless of the millions Shaq has made in his fortune. The podcast hosted Shaq’s appearance Earn Your Leisure, Shaq said his six kids — Shareef, Shaqir, Me’arah, Myles, Taahirah, and Amirah — are not going to get a free ride just because their dad is rich.
And during a September interview with The New York Post in which he talked about his decision to retire from “celebrity status,” Shaq said he tells his kids all the time he’s rich; they’re Not.
“My kids are older now. My kids are a bit upset at me. Not really upset, but they don’t understand. They hear me tell them everything. We ain’t rich. I’m rich.”
This is tough love.

As reported by The Post, Shaq has told his kids they’re going to have to have a game plan if they want access to a piece of his $400 million pie.
“You gotta have bachelor’s or master’s [degrees] and then if you want me to invest in one of your companies, you’re going to have to present it — boom boom boom, bring it to me. I’ll let you know, [but] I’m not giving you nothing.”
Another example: hard-ass, tough love or miserly behaviour?

Shaq reiterated his one non-negotiable rule to The Post — and it’s not basketball:
“There’s one rule: education. I don’t care if you play basketball. I don’t care about none of that.
“Listen, I got six kids. “I would love a doctor to run a hedge fund. I also need a pharmacist.
“But I tell them I’m not going to hand it to you. You gotta earn it.”
Work ethic. There’sThis is a topic Joe Biden, the Democrats and others don’t seem to be interested in. On the contrary, Joe’s too busy handing out money to people to stay home and It does not work, let alone, he’s working on a plan to “award” around $450,000 to Illegal alien families who were “forcefully broken up” during the Trump administration — However, it seems that this is his mistake.
“Qualifying families” have reportedly already begun to file claims, some parents claiming their children were traumatized and as a result suffered from a range of medical and psychological issues, including “anxiety” and a “fear of strangers.” #ProTip: If these people were not In this country illegally they would have suffered “none of the above.” ¿Comprender?
Meanwhile, the Biden Border Crisis™ continues unabated with no end in sight.
Apologies for the digression, but the above crap reads like it’s fresh off the satire site, The Babylon Bee.
Shaq to his kids: “We ain’t rich, I’m rich.”
Teach them the importance of work ethics.Teaching them work ethic. 💪

Shaq stated that he was raised in modest circumstances during his interview with The Post.
“I came from nothing. But, just because I made it doesn’t mean I’m bigger than you, smarter than you — just because I have more money doesn’t mean I’m better than you. I’ve never been that way and I never will be that way.”
Shaq?! We would be happy to hear from the Kardashians. They would love to disagree.
