Shaquille O'Neal's Surprising Revelation: The NBA Star Becomes DC’s Unexpected New Leader Worth $500 Million

Shaquille O’Neal, despite his impressive $500 million fortune, found himself in an unexpected situation when his “Inside the NBA” co-hosts humorously designated him co-CEO of DC Studios during a live segment. On May 14, during a lively episode aired on TNT, Ernie Johnson playfully teased O’Neal about this “promotion,” alluding to his recent attendance at Warner Bros. Discovery’s upfront event. Johnson quipped, “You’ve become a third co-CEO alongside James Gunn and Peter Safran. What are your thoughts?” The remark elicited laughter from the panel. While O’Neal was momentarily bewildered, he engaged with humor, acknowledging the absurdity. Though not part of the filmmaking elite, his past as the star of “Steel” amplifies his connection to DC, reinforcing Shaq’s enduring charisma on screen and beyond.
