Shaq on Club Shay Shay legacy

    yazan Tufail: Shaquille O'Neal

    The specific warning that stuck with Shaquille O'Neal before his father passed wasn't about market trends but a blunt command to not lose his mother's house while spending all the money. His dad didn't really understand financial literacy, yet he carried horror stories in his head fearing his son would go broke. Shaq admits he used to show off by driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but now that 70% of his wealth is saved, he plans to do whatever he wants with that remaining portion. The pressure to refocus comes from two heavy sources: first, honoring those final warnings from his late father, and second, the fact that he has nine children who look up to him alongside kids worldwide. He strives to be the best example possible because he knows one day it will be over when he reaches 60 or 70 years old. At that point, he anticipates being known only as the legend Shaq rather than someone doing all this stuff, so he is just having fun while he can.

    But before my father passed away, he would say, like, little things that he'd know I'd remember. Don't lose your mama, I'll spend all that money. Because, you know, he didn't really know my method, but when I show off, I show off. But now that I got 70% said, this little 10, 20%, I'm going to do what the fuck I want to do it. So I would come with Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and, like, he didn't really understand financial literacy, but he had, like, horror stories in his head that I had all that shit. My son's gonna go broke. So before he passed away, he said, don't lose your mom's house fucking around. So now I gotta get refocused again. So that is number one. Number two, I got nine children that look up to me. And then the world, kids look up to me. So I just always try to be the best example that I can be. So that motivates me. And I know one day it's gonna be over. I know one day I'll be 60, 70 and I'll be old. I'll just be the legend Shaq and won't be doing all this stuff. So I'm just having fun while I can.
