6. Shaquille O’Neal – $400 Million
Shaquille O’Neal’s name is popular in the NBA and needs no long introduction. As such, when Celebrity Net Worth detailed O’Neal’s net worth to be $400 million, not many people were surprised. O’Neal noted his approach to business is not strange but similar to one that Jeff Bezos noted. Bezos noted that business investment should benefit some’s life as this would be more profitable.
O’Neal admitted that the moment he took on that strategy, his profits increased up to four times what he was originally worth. Also, O’Neal’s investments do come with a lot of love, just take his investment in the Krispy Kreme franchise. He notes their doughnuts are great, and since being introduced to them in college, he has been in love with them.
5. LeBron James – $500 Million
LeBron James is another player who has made a name for himself in the sport, and if he weren’t a part of this list, it would not have been complete. However, it is not only basketball that has landed the star player on this list but also his business ventures – more so his investments and saving skills. These combined and gave Celebrity Worth the opportunity to list his net worth averaging $500 million.
Dwayne Wade, in an interview on the show, Live with Kelly and Ryan, admitted that James was the “cheapest” athlete he and his wife had ever met in history and traveled with. LeBron didn’t ditch that review as he noted while roaming, he will not turn on data, nor will he spend money to buy any app. Furthermore, the player went on to state that he still uses Pandora that has commercials – that’s quite a tight saving strategy.
