Somehow this makes me smile. The shop had two fires and had to be rebuilt totally. Downtown Atlanta welcomed its return.
I wonder if they make a proportionally large donut for him.

If they have 100s of franchises they're likely a lot more than "well off"

Watch the documentary on him sometime. One of his kids had an idea for a business and came to him at breakfast table about it. Shaq told the kid to put on a suit and come see him at his office with a business plan. Haha.
Another kid once said "our money" and Shaq corrected him and said "that's my money, not yours. Go make some of your own." He tells a bunch of story in the doc series.
My favorite Shaq quote was when he was in the NBA and came back to BR to watch a LSU game and was on the local news. A reporter said "did you ever think you would be this wealthy?" He answered: "I am rich. The guy that signs my check is wealthy."

LSU former player Green Bay Packers defensive end Ricky Jean Francois isn't a businessman.
He's a business, man.
Earlier this week, the 30-year-old big fella told Steve Gorman on Fox Sports Radio that he owns 25 Dunkin' Donuts franchises.
Jean Francois told Gorman that "when the big money came in," he needed a retirement plan that would be useful the minute he retired.
The former Washington Redskin, who recently signed a one-year, $2 million deal, added that he wants to be an example when the league talks to young players about handling money:
I won't be those guys you see on 30 for 30. I won't be those percentage of guys that goes broke. ... I want to be that guy on top. When the league talks about, "This is what you do with your money," they actually show a picture of me

I understand why he's doing this, but let's be honest, Shaq had an opportunity to make millions because he was born over 7 feet tall.
I'm not saying he didn't work hard to take advantage of that opportunity, but not everyone is winning the genetic lottery and able to put themselves in that position.

C’mon now. You know multiple well off people with “dozens” or “hundreds” of franchises.

He owns a couple in McDonough, 25 miles south of Atlanta where he lives.

Chuck made a comment once on TNT when they were talking about money.
“If Shaq woke up and had my bank accounts, he’d kill himself”
I laughed.
