Pls read on........ When Shaquille Oneal was drafted into the NBA, he spent the first million that he earned within 30 minutes. Oneal then received a phone call from his banker, who scolded him, and told him that he would end up joining the list of former athletes who ended up broke if the current trend continued. Oneal decided to sharpen up his education on business and finance. He returned to college, completing his Bachelors degree, followed by his M.B.A, and lastly, his Ed.D. Thats right, he is now Dr. Shaquille Oneal. As of today, Shaq is the joint owner of 155 Five Guys Burgers restaurants, 17 Auntie Annies Pretzels restaurants, 150 car washes, 40 24-hour fitness centers, a shopping center, a movie theater, and several Las Vegas nightclubs. In addition to his business holdings, Oneal still earns $22 million per year (roughly $423,000 per week) from his endorsement deals with Arizona Creme soda, Icy Hot, Gold Bond, Buick, Zales, and at least a half dozen additional corporate sponsors. He is also a studio analyst for TNT. In Shaqs own words, It is not about how much money you make. The question is are you educated enough to KEEP it?
