No, Shaq is not a billionaire yet. He has come close, but has not quite reached that level of wealth. Forbes estimates his net worth to be around $800 million, which puts him just shy of the billionaire mark.
Shaq made most of his money through his NBA career and shrewd investments. He was one of the highest-paid players in NBA history and also had a successful career as a pitchman, appearing in commercials for products like McDonald's, Pepsi, and Reebok.
In recent years, Shaq has been investing in tech startups and real estate. He's also been dabbling in Hollywood, appearing on TV shows like Lip Sync Battle and hosting the reality show Upload with Shaquille O'Neal.
With all of his various business ventures, it's only a matter of time before Shaq becomes a billionaire. But for now, he remains one of the richest athletes in the world with an estimated net worth of $800 million.
