Shaquille O’Neal has amassed a net worth of $600 million over the course of his career. Apart from his earnings from the NBA, Shaq has made some extremely smart and wise investments to reach the level where he is now. One thing that the seven-foot big man despises is giving out handouts. Be it to his own children as he believes in them being self-supportive. While Shaq may not give handouts, he does tend to look out for the people he cares about, even if they manage to miss out on it.
An old video of Shaquille O’Neal has resurfaced where The Big Aristotle’s generosity and selfless gesture got overlooked. Not only did it get overlooked but it also got questioned by one of his friends who may have shot himself in his own leg.

Jesse had a question for the Lakers legend saying, “My question for Shaq attack is, everybody knows I built you a bike for $55,000. But how come when you picked it up, you went to the Century Club in LA and told everybody you paid $155,000 for it?”

“I only paid 50 but if I tell them I paid 100 when they come and ask for the same bike, you tell them 100. Your profit is 100. I was looking out for you, not for me. I wanted you to look good Jesse, you know I love you,” added Shaq.

Another fan commented, “I love this man Shaq. He’s such an inspiration to everyone he comes across. Blessings.”
