Shaq’s son barely qualifies academically for college

I'm guessing its hard to stay motivated in high school when you're a star athlete and your dad is a world famous person worth $400 million.

UCLA is a pretty difficult school to get into (~17% acceptance rate). I'm sure they make big exceptions for athletes, but they still probably maintain some degree of scrutiny for acceptance.

He will never have to work in his life. Living off daddy’s money.

Shaq's children knows he's dead serious when he says his kids don't get a dime of his money unless they have two degrees each. He's on record multiple times stating it. He said "they will get none of dad's cheese unless they get two degrees". If they want to test him, go right ahead. Good for Shaq.


On a recent Ellen show:

Despite his wealth, though, O'Neal is smart about his money: He reportedly saves 75 percent of his earnings and lives off the other 25 percent.
He's also instilling financial responsibility in his six children. During Monday's segment on "Ellen," O'Neal revealed the rules he currently has in place for his kids.
"My most famous rule is, in order to touch any of my cheese, you have to present me two degrees," he explains.
"Cheese means money. So, their father's very successful. So as a father, I'm not going to give them handouts. They have to get a bachelor's and a master's," O'Neal adds.
"So they're not in the will unless they get two degrees?" DeGeneres asks.
"Exactly," O'Neal responds.
