Education is very important to the NBA legend. He recently invested in a startup called Campus, which focuses on helping community college students finish their degrees and continue to complete a bachelor’s degree.

“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 told Fortune. “But this particular investment is not about great return because I feel that everyone should have access to world-class education.”
