Y’all say one thing on the podcast, and people come for my neck,” said Turner. Shaq suggested trolls would stop if she stops responding to them. To which Turner replied “No I don’t.

It’s not unlike O’Neal to praise his colleagues but he also downplayed his own brains while mentioning this. Some might not agree with Shaq’s statements because no one can amass such a huge fortune and complete two degrees while playing basketball without brains. Coming from the four-time NBA champion, it is a huge compliment.

Shaq and his business empire

The 50-year-old legend’s fortune is worth a massive $400 Million. This feat is very impressive, considering his lifetime career earnings were around $292 Million. Shaq owns over 100 food-chain businesses and has also invested in some possibly life-changing products. The basketball legend credits all of this to his decision in getting higher education in business studies.
