Shaquille O’Neal’s generosity knows no bounds. Shaq is one of the wealthiest players in the NBA, having amassed a small fortune during his career in the NBA as a superstar. On top of that, he made a lot of smart business decisions and investments and is reaping the reward for that these days.
Shaquille O’Neal is clearly a very wealthy man. But unlike a lot of wealthy people, Shaq uses his money to give back to the community. O’Neal has been very generous on numerous occasions. When he once bought a bike for a young kid, he explained that every time he leaves the house, he wants to bless someone and help the needy.
His latest endeavor in that vein is truly remarkable. Shaquille O’Neal visited a family of 11 to take them out to dinner. Not only that, but he also bought dinner for another family at the restaurant. After the dinner, he took them to a Mercedes-Benz showroom and bought them a new car.
And as if that was not enough, he spent a lot of time with their children, teaching them about the value of family and love. When he saw that the family also had a damaged mini-van, he took them to a Ford dealership and bought them a new mini-van so that they wouldn’t have to struggle with their old one.
I have no words right now!!!
Today Shaq blessed us like never before.
Like literally no words.
Last night we had a surprise visit from Shaq. He took us to dinner as a family at babes chicken. It was so much fun to just hang out and eat dinner with him.
And then today!! He started the day off by taking us to the Mercedes dealership to get us a new family 15 passenger van.
We were outgrowing our 12 passenger van and the air conditioning wasn’t always working the greatest and so this is such an outrageous blessing.
They didn’t have any in stock and so we got to customize and order a van that should be here in July.
He then took us to dinner at rainforest café where he paid for another tables entire meal not knowing that they were from out of state and here on missions. And then he tipped our waitress $1000 after her car broke down today.
And then when he saw my husband‘s truck that has been without air-conditioning and heat for a while he took us to a Ford dealership and blessed us with another truck.
He also spent time encouraging us and loving on our children and speaking life into our family. I am completely lost for words.
Somebody wake me up because I must be dreaming.
Thank you Shaq times a million times!!! You have been such a blessing to us in so many ways.
O’Neal’s willingness to give back to the community is a true inspiration to us all. And it also serves as a reminder that we should all strive to help those who are in need. If there were more people like Shaquille O’Neal in the world, it would surely be a much better place.
As one of the richest athletes on Earth, Shaq has a bit of cash to spare.
One family was the lucky recipient of not one but two massive gifts from the NBA star.
After treating them to dinner, he took them to both a Mercedes-Benz and a Ford dealership.
NBA players are some of the wealthiest in the world, and they famously love to spend their money on flashy things.
Shaq is no exception, once buying three Rolls-Royce in one afternoon.
But he likes to give back just as much as he likes to buy items like his Frankenstein Ferrari.
In fact, it’s almost a compulsion for him.
“Every day I leave the house, I gotta bless somebody,” he says.

One of his blessings was to the Collins, a family of 11.
The family increases by the year and they recently outgrew their 12-person van.
Shaq decided to step in, taking them to a Mercedes-Benz dealership where he bought them a brand-new 15-passenger Sprinter.
The Collins also got to customize it, to account for all the strollers and car seats that come with having so many kids.
Afterwards, he took them out for dinner, where he tipped the waitress $1,000 and paid another family’s bill too.
With a net worth of $400 million, this didn’t even nearly make a dent in Shaq’s wallet.
Later Shaq spent time with the kids, some of whom are aspiring basketball players.

While at their house he noticed that their truck’s air conditioning unit was no longer working.
Sure, he could’ve paid to have it fixed, but where’s the fun in that?
Shaq quickly headed to a Ford dealership where he treated the family to a fresh truck.
The family were thrilled, especially the mom who was most excited about all the trunk space.
“Now to learn how to park this beast of a van,” she said.
