Shaquille O’Neal | $400 Million

Shaquille Rashaun O’Neal, born in Newark, New Jersey, is one of the best and most dominant basketball players in the history of the NBA. His career in basketball gave him an estimated $400 million net worth. In 1996, he signed a $121 million contract for seven years with the Orlando Magic, and it was later extended for another three years, with another $88.5 million added to his salary. He retired in 2011 and became a basketball analyst, which added a new avenue of cash flow for the Big Diesel.

Shaq’s overflowing wealth allowed him to put his investments into real estate properties and other assets that contributed to his financial status. In 2012, Shaq added a $235,000 house to his growing real estate portfolio, which was just 30 miles away from his $250 million-dollar resort. He is also known to have several luxury cars in his possession.
