Shaquille O'Neal's exact earnings from his Google investment have not been publicly disclosed. However, he reportedly made an initial "accidental" investment of $250,000 in Google around 1999. This investment significantly contributed to his estimated net worth of approximately $500 million.
O'Neal has stated that he forgot about the investment until Google became a prominent company, and he learned about his substantial returns from a newspaper. To illustrate the potential growth of such an investment, The Motley Fool reported that a $10,000 investment in Google in 2004 would have grown to over $300,000 by 2019. Currently, O'Neal reportedly earns $60 million annually from various business investments and endorsements, exceeding his income during his basketball career.
