This includes college and pro career.
Think like Doctors, lawyers, owner of a large business, etc.
Example: Not LSU, but former nba player Vinnie Johnson made only $5 million in the nba over 10 seasons then turned that into a multi-billion dollar automobile company after his career.

At some point, Shaq will be better known for his NBA commentary career than his playing career, which is pretty unbelievable.

Things Shaq owns or has owned.
quote:
Franchises
Five Guys
Shaq’s first significant investment in a franchise was in this chain, he bought and sold 155 Five Guys restaurants. That amounted to 10% of their company at the time. The Diesel eventually sold his stake in the fast-casual franchise; Five Guys Burgers restaurants have undoubtedly made him wealthy.
Papa John’s
Shaq owns nine Papa John’s restaurants in and around Atlanta. He has also appeared in Papa John’s commercials and other advertising which is part of the criteria he required. He not only purchased nine franchises, but he also sold the company the right to use his likeness and voice for $8.5 million. Shaq has also served as a board member and brand ambassador for the popular restaurant chain since 2019.
24-Hour Fitness Centers
Shaq’s purchase of 40 fitness centers is one of his more low-key franchise investments. Except for the number, we don’t know much.
Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme is known as Shaq’s favorite place to get donuts. His first location was located in Atlanta and was nearly 60 years old. Shaq loves the doughnut he is the official spokesperson that promotes products for the franchise.
Big Chicken Restaurant
Shaq has now entered the world of franchise ownership with Big Chicken, his fast-food restaurant, which serves chicken sandwiches in extra-large portions. Shaq oversees all aspects of this franchise and currently has ten locations.
Auntie Anne’s
Shaq was the franchise owner of 17 Auntie Anne’s Pretzels restaurants. This Aunt Anne’s investment made him about $300,000. Shaq has recently sold this franchise due to the lack of people not wanting pretzels according to the Earn Your Leisure interview.
Car Washes
Shaq owns about 150 car washes, so he has a lot to say about them as investments. These are some of the most profitable businesses. Though they may or may not be franchised, they are all the same type of business and treat him well.

Kurt ainsworth must’ve done pretty good with marucci. I read they sold for 200 million and he’s still on as CEO.

A guy named Ed Orgeron started out at LSU before finishing elsewhere. He won a national title as a HC and retired as a multimillionaire.
