When you're considering investment advice, taking a tip from one of the world's wealthiest people is probably a good place to start.
That's why Shaquille O'Neal says he turned to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for inspiration before deciding to invest in Campus, the online community college startup that's already raised more than $29 million from investors like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Discord founder Jason Citron.
"I heard Jeff Bezos say, if you invest in things that's going to change people's lives, you'll always get a great return on your investment," O'Neal said.
And, O'Neal has long touted Bezos' advice to seek out investment opportunities that he truly believes can "change people's lives."
"If something comes across my desk and I don't believe in it, I don't even look at it," O'Neal told The Wall Street Journal in 2019.
