Thats awesome. Sounds like he is regularly this generous but this is the first time it's been on camera. Warms my heart bc doesnt seem like a publicity stunt, but true kindness

Obviously Shaq was a beast on the court, but he's also known as a very savvy business entrepreneur with great success off the court as well. He seems to be a genuine person only investing in products he uses & truly believes in.

How Shaquille O'Neal Became a Successful Entrepreneur

At the end of the day, we can really only do 3 things with money: spend it, save or invest it & give it away. Ideally, we do a little bit of all 3 to ensure ourselves a full life.

Sadly, many people never get to the giving stage. I don't have nearly the wealth as Shaq, but I make it habit to practice giving within my capacity. I look forward to giving more as the internal joy it produces cannot be replicated any other way. I have a feeling Shaq probably feels the same.

Lovely story, I didn't know he was such a generous person. But my first thought was, why is Shaq shopping at Zales, of all places, when he can afford way better??

You’re hilarious! I thought the exact same thing.

I thought this story was so AWESOME!!!

Note: He mentioned that he actually has a jewelry line at Zales, so that's probably one reason he was shopping there.

Very sweet story!

I always like seeing Shaq on sports shows--golfing etc. He seems like a fun guy and is quite comedic. Lovely to see his generosity!

I hope to meet him soon at a MB dealership!!!

cheers--Sharon

0mg i just read this story on MSN!! So nice of him....but was anyone else suprised that Shaq was buying earrings at Zales???

Oops, just saw that this was already mentioned. I really just dont believe it, tbh.

Had the same thought. Lol!

What a kind and generous soul! How much fun would this be, just to walk into a jewellery store and buy random people jewellery! This is probably exactly how I'd pass my time if I was filthy rich, this and animal rescue!

Exactly the reaction I had — Zales?!?

Such a heartwarming story!

Perhaps he was just wandering around the mall and this was the first jewelry store he came upon. Either way it’s such an awesome thing to do. Makes me inspired to do a little stealthy giving myself.
