Is NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal living the life? Having a net worth of over $400 million and being a household name in the US, one might assume the 51-year-old has everything that an individual might desire. Turns out he isn’t as satisfied as you’d expect, as the grass is always greener on the other side.
