SHAQUILLE O’NEAL GIFTED 1,000 PS5 AND SWITCH CONSOLES TO UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS OVER CHRISTMAS

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal spent his Christmas giving away hundreds of PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch consoles to underprivileged kids over Christmas, it has emerged.

The former basketball star revealed on Gary Vaynerchuk’s podcast, The Gary Vee Audio Experience, that not having a lot growing up really taught him the “value of giving back”. As a result, he gave away no less than 1,000 consoles over the festive period.

O’Neal, who is worth an estimated $400million, stressed the importance of giving what you can and being generous with what you have.

“You know for me, coming from where I come from, my father was a drill sergeant, my mother just was a hard-working woman,” he explained. “Didn’t have a lot. But they taught me the value of giving back. They taught me the value of helping those in need.”

He added that during his work with retailer Toys R Us he learned that 15 to 20 million children in the US wake up on Christmas with no gifts to open. “I felt that one time,” he said. “I don’t ever want a kid to feel like that.”

PROOF THAT BEING PRESENT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

KEANU REEVES DONATED AN EYE-WATERING SUM FROM MATRIX SALARY TO CHARITY

Keanu Reeves has cemented his position as the nicest man in Hollywood following a heartwarming charitable donation.

According to reports, the Matrix star donated “around 70 per cent” of his salary from the film to organisations researching leukaemia.

He is thought to have earned approximately $45 million in total from the film – $10 million upfront and $35 million from the movie’s box office success.

It is claimed Reeves donated 70 per cent of that overall total ($31.5million). His younger sister Kim was battling the disease at the time.

That wasn’t the end of it though. He then set up a non-profit cancer research foundation and only mentioned it, quietly, in 2009 after years of being active.

He said: “I have a private foundation that’s been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children’s hospitals and cancer research,” Reeves said.
