The success of musicians, actors or athletes could be measured through their real estate portfolio. An example of this is former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, although she recently hinted that her millions do not bring her full happiness.
O’Neal recently invited American football player Jason Kelce to ‘The Big Podcast With Shaq’ to talk about his career and even how he and his brother Travis Kelce’s lives have changed by getting involved with Taylor Swift.
During the conversation, the former basketball star also took the opportunity to make some recommendations to Jason about his family with Kylie Kelce, his properties and his future retirement from the NFL.
O’Neal opened up saying that he has been very successful, but that he has also made many mistakes in his personal life that have had serious consequences. For example, he says he ended up living alone in a large 100,000-square-foot mansion.
These statements caused the media to investigate the real estate portfolio of the New Jersey-born athlete. According to ‘New York Post’, O’Neal owns nine large properties distributed in different cities in the United States: Nevada, Texas, Georgia and Florida.
It should be remembered that in May 2022, a mansion in Paradise, Nevada, was put up for sale for $3 million. However, months later the residence left the real estate market.
The New York Post also had access to records showing that in recent years he has purchased at least four properties in McDonough, Georgia. What is presumed is that it will combine these lands to build a large residential complex.
Despite all that, O’Neal tells Kelce: “My advice to you is if you’re going to retire, accept it, enjoy your family, brother. “I made a lot of stupid mistakes until I lost my family and had no one.”
