A brilliant woman

Well, you KNOW I had to talk about Shaunie and Shaq. From the title of this blog alone you know what I think. But let me tell you why I think this woman is a smart cookie. First, let’s do a little context. Cuz, what’s life without context. Milling around in the dark, I say. Well, there are few instances in America where a woman earn hundreds of millions dollars doing a job. I can only think of music superstars and movie superstars. Sports sorta. Remember the WNBA? It’s still around, but who watches? Uh, no one. Anyway, fast forward. You’re a cute, sassy young Black co-ed. A seven foot Black giant takes an interest in you and…..you end up married to a NBA superstar. Of course, this after he sleeps around and ends up in a Professional Ho’s tell all book, gives you three babies (you helped make them, no doubt), and you sign some SUPER, ironclad prenuptial agreement. You know you love your man, but you know the statistics of divorce. Shit, Juanita and Michael got divorced! So, you begin taking money that you LEGALLY have access to and build a nest egg, build a possible escape route. You set up your own accounts. You buy property. All in just your name. You take the money you earn and maximize it to its fullest economic potential. You have in mind the importance of protecting YOURSELF and the KIDS, because he certainly protected himself with the prenuptial agreement (which by the way, we don’t know WHAT it said or how it left her in case of a divorce or separation). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again here: Shaunie is one smart bitch. Booo-yah, Shaq!
