Shaquille O'Neal shares the investing advice he got from Jeff Bezos that made him millions “I used to go to all these conferences cause I wanted to feel smart. You want to be smart, hang around smart people” “This was when Jeff Bezos, years before he created Amazon, he said, ‘You invest in things that's going to change people's lives’” “At that point, I was investing in ghetto stuff and crazy stuff and was losing. I was trying to get rich quick” “He said you invest in things going to change people's lives. So Ring was the first one…”

FT @SHAQ @ArmchairExpPod

@Jackkk Surely Shaq knew Bezos pre Amazon 😂 🤡

@Jackkk So Papa John's changed people's lives? I guess he didn't clarify if it was for the better or worse.

@Jackkk what was bezos even doing at those conferences before amazon - pitching his garage idea

@Jackkk So he had this convo with Bezos…. Before.. Amazon? When he was just a normal guy? Makes me question the validity of this story.

@Jackkk Wouldn’t be surprised if shaq’s iq is like 80 or 90.

@Jackkk No way Shaq and Bezos only met after Amazon blew up

@Jackkk Bezos in '94: "Invest in life-changers" Shaq: *buys stake in doorbells*

@Jackkk So he thought icey hot was going to change ppls lives

@Jackkk An investment advice: "You invest in things that's going to change people's lives"

@Jackkk Getting rich quick is exciting. Building value is profitable.

@Jackkk Shaquille O'Neal isn't stupid at all and he is a good man I wish more celebs would be the way that he is

@Jackkk invested in ring before amazon bought it, that’s the kind of bet that changes habits not just wallets.
