#5 Shaquille O'Neal - $400 million
Shaquille O'Neal was, by many accounts, the most dominant player in the modern NBA at the peak of his Lakers career. At a height of 7'1" and a weight of up to 330 pounds in the year 2001, Shaq was able to move with a speed, agility and balance that men of his size should not logically be able to.
O'Neal had a 13-year peak in which he averaged 26 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game, and is one of only 2 players to be named the NBA Finals MVP three times in a row (with the other being Michael Jordan).

O’Neal is among the world’s highest-paid retired athletes thanks to many sponsorships and business deals, including Shaq-branded suits, sneakers, and jewelry. His net worth is roughly $400 million.
