About LeBron James

LeBron James is an American professional basketball player.

LeBron James lit up the high school basketball scene, so he skipped college and was selected first overall by his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA draft. From 2003 to 2010, LeBron played with the Cavaliers. After that, he “took his talents” to Miami, where he spent 2010–2014 as a member of the Heat. In 2012 and 2013, he guided the Heat to two NBA championships. From 2014 until 2018, he was back with the Cavaliers, where he won a title in 2016. He relocated to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018. 2020 saw him win a championship with LA.

In terms of pay alone, he is currently the third-highest paid NBA player. His base pay is $46.9 million a year. LeBron moved past Kareem Abdul Jabbar to take the top spot as the NBA’s all-time greatest scorer on February 7, 2023.

LeBron is among the wealthiest and most influential celebrities in the world outside of sports. In addition to his $1 billion lifetime contract with Nike, he earns over $60–90 million annually from sponsorships. He has invested in several firms, turning his name and fortune into a true corporate empire. The Pittsburgh Penguins, RFK Racing, A.C. Milan, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and Liverpool F.C. are among the teams he owns a portion in. If LeBron James continues his present rate of investment and profits, he will be a billionaire by 2030.
