This weekend was one for the books, literally.

Being able to raise money for local Milwaukee youth literacy programs alongside @dienertravis was a full circle moment. It felt good to sow seeds in the very place that I have such strong roots. This is only the beginning to the amazing things we have in store

Shaquille O’Neal isn’t the kind of businessman to let a good opportunity pass him by. There is a good reason why the 4-time NBA champion is worth about $500 million.

Because of this, Shaq really considered trying streaming when he heard about one streamer’s $100 million contract. The NBA Hall of Famer was recently notified by “Squadcast” host Ben Gallagher that top online streamer xQC had signed a 2-year, $100 million contract with streaming service Kick.

They give him $50 million to play computer games, and all he does is that?” I’m going to go after [xQc], so he’s in a bit of dangҽr. That’s all, he just turns on the camera, and everyone watches him… An interested party remarked, “I might have to look into that.” Canadian-born Félix “Shaq” Lengyel (his birth name) has become one of the world’s most popular streamers. Streamers can gain viewers by playing games, but some engage viewers by reacting to other content, such videos or articles. The deal for xQC to begin streaming on the Kick platform has a guaranteed value of $70 million, with incentives increasing that to $100 million. In 1996, Shaq signed a seven-year, $120 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, which is worth roughly double that in today’s money.

Shaq has the fan base and charisma to make it in the streaming sector. He might not get a deal as lucrative as xQc’s straight immediately, but he can if he tries. Nearly 32 million people follow the “Inside the NBA” host on Instagram. His loud brand of humour seems tailor-made for the online streaming market.

Shaq was asked how much he would charge to sign a streaming contract like xQc’s and he knew exactly what that number was.

“Up there,” Shaq proclaimed.

Shaq may soon begin streaming, so don’t be surprisҽd if you stumble into one of his channels.
