Shaquille O’Neal is a very successful businessman. With diverse ventures, he has amassed a net worth of 400 million dollars. The 4x NBA champion recently held his annual fundraiser for the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation. This is his means of giving back to the community, and during a special segment, to his mother as well. Shortly after spending $20,000 for his mother’s special experience, Shaq is headed to another star-studded charity event. This time, an influential Shark Tank investor is hosting his 4th Annual Black Entrepreneurs Day Event.

The 2000 NBA MVP is one of the high-profile guests who will be joining the event, which is focused on educating and inspiring upcoming business leaders.

Shaquille O’Neal will be at the iconic Apollo Theater

The event is set to take place in Harlem, New York. It will be on November 1st at the Apollo Theater. The CEO and founder of FUBU first launched the event as a celebration for black businesses but is now also focused on empowering the next generation. There will be a live performance by Rick Ross and appearances by different celebrities, including the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

Through this event, Daymond John hopes to pass down his knowledge to the upcoming leaders of society, inspire the young black moguls, and also celebrate hip-hop’s 50th anniversary during the event.
