Shaq seems to be helming a legacy. According to The Sun, Shaqir O’Neal — the son of the former basketball player — has announced that he’s set to sign a reported six-figure contract with boohooMAN. The clothing company is the sister company of the UK-based clothier who has previously done capsules with the likes of Stefflon Don and Zendaya. “Despite his young age, Shaqir is already taking the sporting world by storm,” a source close to the son of Shaq said to the outlet. “But the ambitious teen is keen to make a name for himself in the fashion industry too. This new line offers a variety of styles and fits that complement’s his sleek style. He’s been excited to work with the team to get his creative juices flowing.” Shaqir’s collection went live on the boohooMAN site on Tuesday, Nov. 16. You can check out the collection here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWV8Udorfbf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link As AfroTech previously reported, Shaq said that he is making his children work hard for...
When your dad is Snoop Dogg and your mom is Shante Broadus, you have no other choice but to be successful. The man born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. in Long Beach, CA, has come a long way from his early days as a skinny rapper getting features on Dr. Dre’s hit songs. Considered one of the pioneers of the modern West Coast rap movement, the Doggfather has since diversified his investments — and talents — into different areas of the entertainment industry. Whether he’s appearing on television alongside his good friend Martha Stewart, or he’s filming episodes of “BMF,” Snoop Dogg is no longer just recognizable behind the mic — he’s recognizable on-screen, too. And he’s become quite the adept businessman, as well. Whether we’re talking about his early investments in Reddit, his prescient investment in the cannabis industry, or the multi-million dollar war chest available in Casa Verde Capital, his net worth of $150 million is one that’s worth applauding. What’s more, he recently added...
Much ado is often made about the wealthiest children in America, but do you know who the wealthiest Black children are in America? Their parents, of course, are in the entertainment industry — and their names certainly ring bells. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children top the list — their parents, according to Forbes, are amongst the nation’s wealthiest self-made couples, with a combined net worth of $1.4 billion. “Their combined net worth of $1.4 billion makes the music moguls one of the 10 most successful husband-and-wife teams in the country, and certainly the most recognizable,” reports the outlet. “Unlike many other couples who founded businesses together, they both struck it rich with complementary but separate businesses. Beyoncé’s wealth comes mostly from earnings from touring, music sales and merchandise. Her husband, on the other hand, amassed most of his wealth from his ownership of Armand de Brignac champagne, investments, his cognac partnership...
Michael Jackson wasn’t just an entertainer. He was a legacy and a legend — the likes of which we will never see in our lifetimes again. But when he died, the affairs of his estate were a bit contentious. According to the Associated Press, Jackson’s estate was worth $482 million when he passed in 2009. However, the estate hotly contested that value — mostly because of the estate bill that was prepared that was “far too high” for the heirs. Ultimately, in May 2021, Judge Mark Holmes ruled that the Michael Jackson estate was worth $111 million. The ruling in the estate’s favor in May 2021 means that the IRS must recalculate the taxes owed, and this time, they must not include any penalties or fees. The heirs in question — sons Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. and Prince “Blanket” Jackson II, and daughter Paris — however, are set for life. According to Life & Style Magazine, each of the children receives an $8 million allowance yearly. When the children turn 33, they will each acquire equal...
Love him or hate him, Dr. Dre has made his way in life. The Aftermath Records founder has certainly come a long way from his heyday in the seminal Hip-Hop group, NWA. According to Newsweek, Apple’s deal with Beats by Dre in 2014 made him one of the wealthiest men in hip-hop. The tech giant snapped up the headphones in a deal that, at that time, was worth close to $3 billion. While it was said that he was one of Hip-Hop’s first billionaires, a subsequent investigation by Forbes refuted that claim. “Forbes still doesn’t agree with the assessment made in the wake of Apple’s $3 billion 2014 purchase of his Beats By Dr. Dre headphone line,” reported the outlet. “The superproducer owned an estimated 20%-25% of the company at the time; of the $2.6 billion Apple paid upfront in cash, another $295 million was earmarked to cover debt payments, leaving Dre with a little over $500 million.” Despite not reaching billionaire status, his $780 million net worth — per Celebrity Net Worth — makes him...
