“Edited to include more athletes. Shaq undoubtedly takes the cake”

I was thinking about some of the things LSU Athletes have accomplished outside of sports and it got me wondering more.

Russel Shepherd has some great business going on
Matt Mauck with dentistry
Billy Cannon actually did good things after prison

Whatcha got?

Don't see how you could top what Shaq has done in the business world.

Absolutely, that’s a given and proud of how he has made himself so much more than an athlete.

Shaq far surpasses any other athlete.

He has his hands in real estate, fast food franchises, car washes, and more

This is a tough one because fame from playing factors in so much... like how successful would Shaq be outside of basketball if he wasn't famous because of playing basketball??

Brandon Landry's doing pretty good and I would say it has virtually nothing to do with his playing career...

Randall Gay went to law school IIRC. I am forever grateful for him and Devery Henderson starting on both an LSU natty team and a Saints Super Bowl team.

His cash cow is a sports bar called “walk-ons” I think it has a little bit to do with his playing career

I mema He probably wouldn’t have had the start up money, but he has a ton of businesses most people don’t realize he owns. So it’s not like he opens Shaq’s Steakhouse and he only makes money cause it has his name in it

Isn’t Eddie Furniss a Dr. ?

My favorite surgeon, Dr. Cecilia Cun(tz) was in gymnastics in the 1980’s.

If you want to go with someone who did not play sports professionally then parlay that into the success of their post sports career maybe Sandra Smith.
