Shaquille O’Neal | Retired Pro Basketball Player and Sports Analyst | $400 Million

He has been retired for a few decades now, but trust Shaq to make sure he’s still putting money in the bank. O’Neal earns a reported $60 million annually from his different business ventures and endorsements. A fitting retirement for one of basketball’s most enduring legends. Did you know that during his time in the NBA, his peak salary reached $27 million? It might be less compared to today’s standards, but back then it was the dream for many ballers and only a key player of a three consecutive champion team got it.

His individual accolades include being named as Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1999-2000, receiving NBA Rookie of the Year award, and receiving 15 All-Star Game selections, three All-Star Game MVP awards, and three Finals MVP awards.Aside from being an endorsement magnet, O’Neal also achieved another impressive achievement: his doctoral degree in education from the University of Phoenix.
