Shaquille O'Neal earned $292 million in NBA salary, blew through most of it, and admits he made a ton of financial mistakes. Today his net worth is around $500 million, and more than half of that money came NOT from basketball, but from business.
He says it all came down to one lesson:
"Before you succeed, you must first learn to fail. Never let anyone tell you that you can't get it done."
Instead of just taking money for endorsements, he started buying equity in businesses - Five Guys, Papa John's, Krispy Kreme. Equity pays you even after everyone forgets about you. Endorsements only pay while you're relevant.

🇵🇭 Alex Eala defeats Elena Rybakina, 7-5, 6-4, with an impressive performance in Berlin!
The Filipina’s improvements on serve are there to see but her ability to attack the serve of Rybakina made a huge difference today. She won a whopping 70% of 2nd serve return points. But it was an overall excellent display in all aspects from Eala in her second victory over a World No. 2.
She moves into the quarterfinals and looks likely to secure a seeding at Wimbledon.
7–5, 6–4 against the World No. 2, with a winning percentage of over .500 against the World’s Top Ten. Next stop: the quarterfinals of the #BerlinOpen. #VamosAlex
