Shaquille O’Neal is worth an estimated $250 million, but that doesn’t stop him from playing around with penny stocks and kissing little old men on the head.

O’Neal appeared on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Thursday and explained why he likes to sit at home and invest in penny stocks usually left for the average Joe.

O’Neal said he lets his “guy” handle his larger investments since his penny stock strategy hasn’t been going well. Then he got a little sweet on famed Wall Street trader Peter Tuchman.

"I want to be like you, Peter,” O’Neal said before planting a pair of kisses on the top of Tuchman’s head. 

Tuchman was a good sport about the public display of affection and gave the 7-1 O’Neal a high five before going about his, presumably, much more important business.
