LeBron James is first active NBA player to become a billionaire
LeBron James may not be playing in the NBA Finals, but he's still having a good June. According to Forbes, the Lakers star now has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, making him the first active NBA player to become a billionaire.
Michael Jordan is the NBA's only other billionaire, but he didn't reach that mark until 2014, years after the stopped playing the NBA.
During his NBA career, James has earned over $385 million in salary from his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Lakers. He earned $170 million in 11 season with the Cavaliers, $153 million in his four seasons with the Lakers and $64 million in his four seasons with the Heat.
James raked in a whopping $121.2 just last year. He is currently the league's highest-paid active player and also makes an estimated $900 million in income via endorsement deals and businesses.
"It's my biggest milestone," James told GQ in a 2014 interview about potentially being a billionaire one day. "Obviously. I want to maximize my business. And if I happen to get it, if I happen to be a billion-dollar athlete, ho. Hip hip hooray! Oh, my God, I'm gonna be excited."
A big reason the Lakers star has gotten to this point is that he's been smart about spending his money.
James has a minority stake in Liverpool of the Premier League and has made $90 million during his time as an investor, which dates back to 2011. In addition, James also owns an estimated one percent of Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park and Liverpool.
The Fenway Sports Group also owns half of Roush Fenway Racing and 80 percent of the New England Sports Network. In 2021, the Fenway Sports Group paid $900 million to own the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It's not all sports for James, though. He has also made an estimated $80 million in real estate, as he owns three properties that are worth that amount. In addition, James has also made $30 million in Blaze Pizza, a pizza chain that was founded in 2012 and has more than 300 locations throughout the United States and Canada.

Buy the Lakers
Yeah, because he's proven to be such a savvy judge of talent himself.
When LBJ wins without himself you could maybe say you want him to run your team.
So far he's shown the same aptitude as Magic and Jordan.

It's a joke.
Well I'm pretty sure he and Maverick would if Jeanie let him.
I'm glad you think that... too many here actually believe it would be a good idea.
So does this mean we wonβt protect Bron when Vegas conducts their expansion draft.
Also note to selfβ¦draft Bronβs kid and then have him trade the farm to us when he suddenly starts to care about the yutes. In a related note, Presti to LV confirmed. _________________ Not familiar with the salary cap/CBA rules & how it impacts our Lakers?

Man, I wonder how much that Vegas team would cost.
Millions or billions? I was thinking it would take a couple of Bills.
And with Lebron only being a billionaire, he might have to be a minority owner.
I assumed MJ was a minority owner of the Hornet as I assumed he didn't have the billions to buy a team. Then I saw that he only paid $175M for the Hornets (about 97% of the team). So he is the majority owner. And the team is now valued at $1.5B! What a great investment. _________________ ππ π π π #18!!!

They'll purchase the team via the Fenway Sports Group, of which he's a partner. I'm guessing his stake would be a tiny fraction of its value.
So in just the past few weeks he has expressed last season was a success, interest in joining the Warriors, owning a team, business endeavors, a Vegas team.
I wish the Face of the Franchise would express as much interest in his current team in which he is the undisputed leader.
They kind of need him to be invested if they want to be competitive.

Well if you listen to a few of his main media mouthpieces they want the Lakers to trade him. Beak-nose Nick Wright said if we're gonna keep Russ then we should trade lebron. Most of us with a firm grasp on the way klutch does business know that if he's saying something like that on TV he's getting it straight from lebron.
