LeBron James’ luxury life: how the king of NBA makes and spends his US$1.2 billion net worth – on mansions, cars, a cryotherapy chamber … and getting a friend into a Samsung ad?
STORYBusiness Insider
- Thanks to his NBA salary and lucrative endorsement deals with the likes of Nike and Beats by Dre, James lives a lavish lifestyle, complete with an LA mansion
- He’s set to become the highest-paid player of all time with his new Lakers contract, owns a Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini and a Rolls-Royce, and splurged on his wedding too
On the court, LeBron James has earned four NBA MVP awards, four NBA championships, and 18 All-Star nods in his illustrious 19-year career. That stacked résumé has paid off big time – after agreeing to a two-year, US$97 million contract extension with the Lakers, he is set to become the highest-paid player of all time.
He is equally relentless off the court, signing a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike worth more than US$1 billion – a move that was so big it is more like the merger of two corporations.
