Growing up, I didn’t really know a lot of sport aside “Football” which I was so passionate about cause of my environment, never thought I would even have a chance to stare elsewhere. But that perspective changed when I came across the name “LeBron James”. I couldn’t just ignore, so I decided to look more into this name. Then I realised a sport the call “Basketball “, and I learnt about how well the players are being paid, realising how the earn themselves tens and tens of millions every year and when it comes to wealthy and successful Basketball Players it’s impossible to leave out LeBron James. He is said to have a net worth of about a Billion Dollar ($1 Billion).

LeBron James is one of the most awarded basketball players in history, having two Olympic gold medals as well as one bronze medal, 18-time NBA All-Star, and has participated in 10 NBA Championship and managed to win Four (4) of them. Two from when he was playing with Miami Heat in the 2012, and 2013. One collected in the 2016 when he was playing with the Cavaliers. And the last in the 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers. Which makes him the first person who has won the NBA Championship with three differentteams.

James has managed to earn $300 Million from playing Basketball since being drafted in 2003, and it’s not only the NBA that have given him a net worth of a Billion Dollar ($1 Billion). LeBron has a whopping $700 Million from Endorsements, Merchandising, Licensing, and Media.

Adding to his Net worth he signed a lifelong deal with NIKE since 2016 which brings him $30 Million a year, and other endorsement deals like 2k Sport, AT&T, Coca-Cola, KIA Motors, Ruffles, Mountain Dew, PepsiCo, Crypto.com, Walmart, Blaze Pizza, Beats Electronics (which we know as the Beat by Dre). And many more.

He also happens to co-own a production company “Spring Hill Entertainment”, which produced the space jam a new legacy which he stars. So, that give you a picture of how LeBron James could afford most of his mansions starting from the $10 million mansion he built near his hometown, the eight-bedroom spread in Los Angeles’ Tony Brentwood neighbourhood for $23 million, His latest splurge: a 13,000-square-foot 1930s hilltop home in Beverly Hills known as the Benedict Canyon, for $36.75 Million, which he has already torn down to replace with a mansion of his own.

LeBron James is easily one of the most iconic athletes of all time. He is also the first-ever athlete to make $1 Billion in earnings while still playing.
I know what's on your mind... Michael Jordan, right?... Well, Michael, the only other basketball billionaire, he didn’t hit the ten figures until 2014, more than a decade after he retired, thanks to a well-timed investment in the Charlotte Hornets basketball team.
