The former NBA star, 51, shared his candid thoughts about financially supporting his children during a recent interview with Insider. O’Neal is the father of six, as he shares five children - Myles, 26, Shareef, 23, Amirah, 21, Shaqir, 20, and Me’arah, 17 - with ex-wife Shaunie O’Neal. He also has a 27-year-old daughter, Taahirah, with ex Arnetta Yardbourgh.
