Like every year, plenty of celebrities across the country attended this year’s Super Bowl, because it’s one of the hottest tickets of the sports calendar. Just to get in the game this year, prices were hovering around $3,800, and watching the Super Bowl in-person was once again no cheap ticket this year. In the middle of the game, Shaq decided to post a random video. In the background, you can see comedian Kevin Hart, who slapped Shaq on the side of the head. Later in the video, the Big Aristotle decides to give the Dallas Cowboys a shoutout.

Check out the video below, which drew some laughs from former Auburn star Jabari Smith, Jr.

Who knows why Shaq decided to post the video. It looks like he and Kevin Hart were just joking around with each other and having a fun time. It’s been a highly entertaining Super Bowl and plenty of people were impressed with the halftime show with Rihanna.

It looks like Hart and Shaq they are in a skybox suite, which is likely pretty spectacular, and insanely expensive.

Although he’s best known as a 15-time NBA All-Star, five-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer, Shaq’s interests off the court have earned him just as much notoriety. Most of his work is on TV or in commercials, but his skill as a DJ has become just as big of a pastime for The Big Aristotle.

As a businessman, Shaq has developed a reputation as an incredibly sharp investor over the years, developing a net worth of $400 million. That’s the figure that people have attached to Shaq since 2022. In September of 2013, he became a minority owner in the Sacramento Kings, but later sold that stake in January of 2022.

Shaq has been a highly active real estate entrepreneur over the years. He’s also owned several different franchises, including Five Guys, Auntie Anne’s, health clubs, car washes, and one of his most popular restaurants, Big Chicken.
