NBA legend and millionaire Shaquille O’Neal has one of the wisest heads when it comes to money.

On a recent episode of The Big Shaq Podcast, Shaq joined Nichelle Turner and Joshua Johnson, the ‘King of NBA Twitter’. On their podcast, they talked about the highly publicized Kyrie Irving trade.

Nichelle Turner pointed out that Irving is a $50 million player, but his off-court antics make him an unpopular choice. Elaborating further, Shaq had some words regarding money and how players are supposed to act. 

Shaquille O’Neal has some advice for people making millions

Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal has a massive net worth of $400 million. Apart from the earnings from his various businesses, he rakes in a salary of $60 million from TNT.

During a segment from his podcast, the Los Angeles Lakers legend asserts that people should be behaving a certain way if they make a lot of money. Moreover, he also said that a lot of people are jealous because of the money in the NBA.

Shaq said, “The type of money they make, it definitely breeds jealousy. So if a guy’s making $60 million, you’re expecting to be a certain way. Not all guys are gonna do that, not all guys are gonna be that.”
