A wise investor
Shaquille O’Neal made early investments in Google and Apple, both of which are competitors, but both of which are very profitable for the savvy investor. He diversifies his investments but stays the course: he invests in what he loves (food, doughnuts, pretzels, sports…).
The 15-All-Star winner also owns a movie theatre in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Most of his investments are named after him, “Shaq,” which is a sign of his strong commitment!
