Another option, says O'Neal, is to manage money the old-fashioned way: put most of it in the bank for retirement, which he says he did with 75% of his income.

"You want cars, you want diamond earrings, you want jewelery?" he asks. "Do whatever you want (with the other 25%)."

I read an article about him years ago. After spending so much in a short amount of time, I think his banker or someone had a talk with him and he listened. Told him if he kept spending like that that he would broke.  He listened.  He owns several businesses, etc as well and minds his money.  Very smart man.

While Shaq has certainly been much smarter with his money than other superstars, still don't think you can call him a mustachian. I remember a story in his book (which is quite interesting, dude has had quite a life), where shack buys 3 Rolls Royce's, that he can't even fit in, because he was at the dealership right after Mike Tyson had bought two.

Saw this earlier and thought about posting it for the LOLs.  The baller lifestyle is pretty much the polar opposite of the mustachian.  Start out early in life making millions per year, buy a ton of useless stuff for extreme hedonic adaption, then by the time you each your late 30s and have to retire, you are broke.
