Shaquille O’Neal may be best known for his time playing basketball, but the retired NBA star is also a savvy investor and smart saver.
At least he is now.
“My first check, I blew it,” O’Neal, 46, said Friday on CNBC's "Fast Money." “I blew it in like 20 minutes."
But O'Neal wasn't just being careless with his money. "I bought my mom a car, dad a car, paid off their credit, bought them a house," he explains.
